About the size of the Isle of Wight this area is 38km south-east of Porto. Rivers in deep ravines cater for adventure sports and mountain summits rise to over 1000m. The walking opportunities are outstanding with over a dozen clearly marked walks varying from one and a half to six hours duration, all including visits to special features within the park - cultural, landscape and gastronomic. Exceptional are the monster fossil trilobites (over 70cm long!) and rocks 'giving birth' to stones. Arouca has a museum and the convent made famous by Mafalda, beatified in 1793.
