Before setting out through the mountains, we suggest you make a visit to the modest village Vila do Castelo (Castle), a name that still evokes the memory of a long-gone medieval period. At the top of the hill, next to the chapel Senhor do Castelo, there still exists a pre-Romanesque frieze of the medieval temple. There, the vast horizons of the Fornelo valley and the Marão are beautifully depicted.
