Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês - Mezio

On the roadside there are a number of espigueiros, the small stone grainstores that are characteristic of this region.

A road runs south from Soajo through the valley of the Rio Lima, past electric power stations, to Cidadelhe, where the route described in Entre-Ambos-os-Rios can be joined.

Five km/3mi south east of the Mezio entrance on a tarmacked road is the mountain eyrie of Soajo, its houses built of undressed granite blocks without the use of mortar. Its 10th C. pelourinho is the oldest stone column in Portugal.
