This village is still very natured linked. You can explore not only the natural beauty of the landscapes, but also get to know its ancestral culture, based on communitarianism.
Its fauna and flora that will definitely fascinate you and make you want to return. The village is right at the edge of the Gerês, natural park.
Aguiar Castle is a point of high tourist interest. It is a rock castle, supported by a gigantic granite rock, whose origins date back to the 9th/10th centuries. Inquiries from 1220 refer to a functioning fortress, which could have been part of a manor's residence. It is a monument of national interest, meaning that it is protected, included in a classified natural area, and benefits from easy access. The viewpoint implemented at the highest point of the fortification allows a panoramic view over the Aguiar Valley. Aguiar Castle, and all its natural surroundings, can be visited without the need for an appointment.
En este pueblo y alrededores se puede descubrir el patrimonio arquitectónico, el Puente sobre el Río Cabril, la Mizarela o Puente del Diablo, la Iglesia de São Lourenço de Cabril, en Xertelo su Molino Cubo Vertical, una fuente antigua de gran belleza, el fojo do lobo y el crucero Senhora da Saúde, en Fafião, su radical mirador sobre dos rocas. En estos lugares se colocaron tres monumentos a la cabra, el águila real y el lobo ibérico, con vistas supremas sobre los valles y montañas circundantes.
Loved it! The interaction with locals was exceptional.
