These 200-year-old mills stand as remarkable symbols of the region's industrial and cultural heritage, harking back to a time when manual craftsmanship and innovation shaped local communities. During our stop, you’ll take a 10-minute guided walk to explore the mills, discover hidden scenic views, and, depending on the season, admire cascading waterfalls. This stop is not only an exploration of history but also an opportunity to embrace the tranquility of Porto’s mountainous landscapes and connect with its natural beauty.

It’s the perfect conclusion to a journey through nature, history, and culture.
