  Beautiful experience. The roads date back to woods, waterfalls and breathtaking views over Portugal and Spain, to the boundary dividing the two states. Almost untouched nature but easily reachable. For real lovers of nature and landscapes.

  Great place for hiking. Paths are clearly marked with stripes or rocks accordingly. There are plenty of (natural) fountains available to replenish your water supply. Every now and then you also pass a beautiful waterfall. In Erminada you can also do some basic shopping concerning food and other supplies. I can only recommend this parc.
