It is a happy marriage between the old and the new, the result of an architectural intervention of great quality that fades into the landscape.
Because of its location at altitude (about 500 meters) and for being the beginning of the mountainous set of Geres, wildlife is magnificent, especially the horses that still abide by this area in a state of complete freedom.
In fact it is common, especially winter the Garranos their names. go down to the village and enter into gardens and pasture areas. Not too hard to find them, simply climb over a little mountain to the place of Armada, and there they are, imposing, in magnificent landscapes. As seen in photos.

At about 10 km, instead of Feitosa, you can enjoy a beautiful golf course for professionals or amateurs designed for two 9-hole courses each.
In the heart of the Valley of Lima, the Castiça and peculiar beauty of the oldest town in Portugal hides deep roots and ancestral legends.
It was the Queen Teresa who in the distant date of March 4, 1125, granted charter letter to the village, referring to it as Terra Bridge. Years later, already in the fourteenth century, Pedro I, given the geostrategic position of Ponte de Lima, told her wall, so the end result was that of a medieval village surrounded by walls and nine towers, of which remain two, several traces of remaining and the whole defensive structure then, is making access to the village through six doors.
The Garrano is a very old equine race, separated from the rest since the Quaternary period, which is part of a broader group known as the Iberian horse due to common characteristics and its origin1.
After the Garrano, itself, is the oldest among his own, among other races sisters North of the Iberian Peninsula and southwestern France, including the Galician Monte horse, the Asturcón of Asturias or the Biscaia2 Potok.

Currently lives in semisselvagem state in areas of Geres mountain range, Serra do Soajo, saw Arga and Serra da Cabreira, in times inhabited the North of Portugal where is oriundo.4
It is a protected race because of the risk of extinction to which he was subject until recently.
In short it will need many days to know all the beauty of this region and take advantage of this huge range of offer.
