Magura- Interestingly, the Parque Nacional da Peneda-Geres was featured in National Geographic last month and I just got around to reading it. Looks like a magical place, indeed! Portugal impressed us, without a doubt.

The land is beautiful and I assure you the north, which is not so popular with tourists, offers some beautiful scenery, especially the mountains (Serra da Estrela). In the north there is the Parque Nacional da Peneda-Geres, which offers mountain biking and hiking through the granite massifs where you can pass ancient villages that seem to have stood still in time.
I really plan to go back there, perhaps next year. I hope the countryside has remained the way it was 15 years ago when I last went there. Thanks for bringing back the momories.
