Paco de Giela

Reviewed By hans-jaguar - Santa Comba Dao, Portugal

The “Paço de Giela” is also located into the region of “Arcoz de Valdevez”. On your arrival you can turn to your left and you will find a spacious car park for free, and so you will have to walk a small distance up-hill to the castle. Paço de Giela is a remarkable example of the private and civil medieval and modern arquitecture, and classified as one of the most important national monuments. Once you are arriving uphill you have the reception on your right, they are very helpful and super friendly, there was a lady going with us and explaining everything until the movie location, and from there on you are on your own. The castle is partially reconstructed but even so it is more than worth the visit and the entrance fee is “1 €”, and the staff was so friendly to give us a leaflet of the village of “Arcoz de Valdevez”, doing so we did not need to look after the “Tourist Office” and give us the opportunity to park the car and spend more time in the “Historical Part” of the village, thanks to the staff of Paço de Giela for this. It was a big help. You will be able to read our visit of this historical part into our next reviews. All together a need place and a must see location.

Granaries of Lindoso

Reviewed By Z1518FNiant

In a quiet corner next to the castle lie these remarkable structures in a group of 50 plus. Seemingly still In use they house corn on the cob & are a throwback to times gone by. We were there midday on a Thursday in July and were pretty much alone walking among them. Definitely worth the trip.
