Montesinho Natural Park

During one of our visits to the northern region of Portugal, we crossed the wonderful Montesinho Natural Park, bordering the Sierra de la Culebra Zamora, a winding road. This nature reserve occupies the territories of Braganza and Vinhais, in the region of Tras-Os-Montes. With an area of ​​over seventy-four thousand hectares, it is one of the largest natural parks in our neighboring country of Portugal. It has a beautiful natural landscape of rolling hills and boulders with a rich vegetation of poplars, alders, willows and large black oak forests, chestnut and oak trees. There is also a great diversity of rare and endemic tree species characteristic of this area.
