Why Peneda-Geres National Park matters

Peneda-Geres is the green wilderness in Portugal's far north. Granite mountains, river pools, waterfalls and old stone villages make it great for hiking and swimming. Wild horses and cattle roam freely, so drive slowly on the narrow mountain roads and take plenty of water.
