Mondim de Basto

One of the main assets of this concello is its natural heritage, which is why I did this trip with a group of friends, but also for its typical regional cuisine and heritage. Firstly once you get to this village there is a mountain of nearly a thousand feet altitude, an excellent vantage point and where the popular Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Graça is. The Parque Natural do Alvao is great, which is located in Ermelo or Fisgas with spectacular waterfalls in a lovely setting surrounded by granitic rocks of great beauty. As for the cultural or historical heritage we found some medieval bridges, and even in the center of town, forts, stone crosses on a walk through history and tradition.
