Legend has it that Serra da Cabreira owes its name to a young and beautiful goatherd who used to tend her flock there: "(...) And the people wanted to perpetuate forever, with all justice, the shepherd girl's unhappy love. Therefore, they named the mountain where she had experienced her great passion Serra da Cabreira, and since she wanted to be a bird and fly, she began to call the river in Vila do Conde the Ave River...". Whether on foot, by mountain bike, or by car, Serra da Cabreira is a must-see for anyone visiting Vieira do Minho and for those who wish to enjoy the lush mountain landscape.

The Cela Cavalos waterfall is fed by the crystal clear waters of the Cavadas and Cela Cavalos streams and, in addition to the striking waterfall that forms an irresistible natural pool, it also has a delightful lagoon with emerald green water hidden above the waterfall. The landscape is disarmingly beautiful! To get there, you have to walk and sometimes climb - about 3 km on the way there and 1.5 km on the way back. You are rewarded with absolute peace and an incomparable panorama, to which the ruins of the two old mills contribute.
