When people think of Portugal, sun-drenched southern beaches and Lisbon’s iconic yellow trams usually spring to mind first. But if you’re after truly wild, untamed nature, you need to head to the far north, right up to the Spanish border. That’s where you’ll find Peneda-Ger\u00eas Portugal<\/strong>‘s only official national park \u2014 and it’s a revelation. Deep valleys, granite cliffs, crystal-clear rivers, and traditional stone villages where time seems to have stood still are all waiting for you here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we’ve put together 12 top things to see and do<\/strong> in the park that you really shouldn’t miss. We’ll take you to the most stunning waterfalls, walk an ancient Roman road, and tell you where you stand the best chance of spotting wild horses. You’ll also find out which areas make the best base for accommodation and what to watch out for when driving the narrow mountain roads. Northern Portugal is rougher around the edges than the rest of the country, but that’s exactly what makes the experience so authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
