Capela Nossa Senhora da Lapa
The sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Lapa is mainly a chapel, which was built in a cave under a granite block on the hill of Penamourinho. It is one of the most important sanctuaries in Europe. According to the legend behind the belief, in this place the image of Nossa Senhora da Lapa appeared to a little shepherdess, under a rock.
Ilha Do Ermal
The Ermal Albufeira, of unique beauty, is fed by the Ave River, certainly the most beautiful and beautiful in the whole world and, among the Portuguese, the most fruitful and productive. This Reservoir of pleasant, clear and crystalline waters is not only the delight of the most adventurous, but also the most peaceful ones. It is a place where visitors can cool off in the crystalline waters and rest listening to the sounds of nature. Albufeira do Ermal is today one of the most important points of tourist interest in this region. Ermal fascinates with its beauty and charm. Here visitors can enjoy its beaches or dare to practice water skiing.
Cascata da Candosa, the most beautiful waterfall in Serra da Cabreira. Yes, you have to walk a bit to be able to enjoy this wonder of nature in the North of Portugal, but we are confident that, when you lay your eyes on it, you will find the effort well spent. The Candosa Waterfall is fed by the crystalline waters of the Ave River. The eye-catching waterfall forms a lagoon of emerald green water that is simply paradisiacal. Needless to say, in summer it's irresistible to take a good couple of refreshing dips! Maybe a little too refreshing. As already mentioned, access to Cascata da Candosa is exclusively on foot. But fear not, it's only a couple of kilometers round trip. The trail has a wonderful natural setting that will allow you to discover the historic watermills on the Ave river and cross a medieval bridge. There you will find the Ponte da Candosa, a medieval construction that rises above the Ave River, measuring about 19m in length and 3m in width.
