Description Ponte da Barca

Booking.com

The landscape of Ponte da Barca, which covers more than half the territory of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, is printed in color on retinas tired by urban stress. They are images of manifestation and blessing of nature that give shape to the collective memory of a people who established an intrinsic complicity with it: mountains that were decisive for its protection; the river that bound him to life and progress, and the paradisiacal green of all the most secret corners.

The Garden of the Poets contains some of the main monuments and is an ideal location along with the riverside parks, for picnics and walks, for its tranquil atmosphere and bucolic charm.

We can find in Ponte da Barca the excellent contrast experienced only by those who visit it and fall in love with its beautiful landscapes, gastronomy - here the lamprey, the barrosã, the french toast, the orange cheese and the wine are all kings - and a timeless craftsmanship - lace, embroidery and linen weaving - to keep with affection. There are also the pilgrimages, a hospitable people and many other potentialities that make Barca an attractive destination.
