Points of interest
Highly recommended for who's interested in history of the region. You see how people lived and worked (and sometimes still do) in the area. Local crafts also on display.
Het museum Casa do Tempo is een aanrader. Je ziet er hoe de mensen in Noord-Portugal vroeger (en soms nog steeds) leefden, en je krijgt er een idee van wat de streek allemaal te bieden heeft. Ook de lokale ambachten komen aan bod.
