    Leave your car by the border with Spain (it's forbidden to park it anywhere else because the area is protected) and walk down the road till you find the river. Are you wearing a swim-suit and waterproof shoes? Then go down the river and enjoy its crystal green lagoons and small waterfalls. When you reach the wooden bridge, come back by the ancient roman road (one mile walk). Otherwise, go to Campo do Geres and walk the entire roman road up.

    Mata de Albergaria - Peneda-Gerês National Park, Braga.

    Cascatas do Arado

    Posted by Pipeta 17 August 2006

    Spectacular waterfalls with suspended lagoons. The water is crystal clear and not at all cold. The river bed is worth climbing during the summer. Make sure to take your swimsuit, comfortable shoes (that you can use in the water is preferable) and, of course, your camera!

    On the road that connects Vila do Gerês to Ermida.

    Mestre Zé

    Posted by Pipeta 17 August 2006

    Fancy restaurant by Guincho beach. (You could try any of them because they're all great!) Fresh seafood and fish, excellent meat, top wine. A bit expensive but surely worth the while!

    By Estrada do Guincho - the road that connects downtown Cascais to Guincho beach; tel: 214 870 275
