Outlined by the mountains of Arada, Gralheira and S. Macário, S. Pedro do Sul possesses a luxuriant landscape in pure state, perfect for Nature Tourism.
Climb to the top of S. MacárioMountain (3.458,01 feet/ 1054 metres) and enjoy the amazing landscape seen from there. Pena, Fujaco, Covas do Monte, Covas do Rio, and Macieira are places lost in time, involved in traditions, legends and beliefs held by the ancestral knowledge of its people. Sul is another inevitable stop, land that once was village and still keeps its historic pillory preserved. Jardim do Emigrante (a local garden) and the Feira de produtos locais (a market of local products) organised every week are reference points that you should visit.
The AradaMountain, which presents a profusion of crags and ravines, lodges in upland, a lake of crystalline waters. In this area there are also located the villages of Coelheira and Candal that deserve a contemplative visit.
Close to Parque do Pisão, perfect to take an afternoon snack and rest, the village of Carvalhais lodges the Castro da Cárcoda and the Igreja Matriz (local matrix church), indispensable places for your visit.
Lodged in the heart of Gralheira Mountain is the Monastery of S. Cristovão de Lafões, whose origin precedes the birth of nationality, and the Aqueduto das Águas Reais (local aqueduct). When climbing this mountain you will reach Manhouce, a village known by its Grupo Etnográfico de Trajes e Cantares (local Ethnographical Group) popularized by the voice of Isabel Silvestre.
