From Viana Do Castelo we headed up into the National Park of Peneda Geres. This park is spectacular. Hardly any traffic on the narrow roads so we were able to make a slow scenic journey from the coast along the Minho river and then up into the mountains to the northern entrance of the park at Lamas de Mouro.
Phillipa and Ludi made us very welcome at the campsite. According to Phillipa there is a pack of wolves living behind the campsite in the mountains.
The sun decided to shine on us so we took advantage of that and went for a walk from the information centre . The area is very unspoilt and due to the heavy rain streams sprung from every crevice. At one point the path became a stream and a divert through a field was necessary.
The villages here are very traditional and they still follow the old customs of farming and living. The communal wood burning stove was in the centre of the village.
