Village of Sistelo

Highlight • Settlement

Located north of the municipality of Arcos de Valdevez, this village is one of the oldest in Alto Minho and is a pearl of nature enclosed in a valley at the gates of Parque Peneda Gerês, very close to the source of the river Vez.

Sistelo is an example of Man's ability to adapt to the singularities and adversities of nature, transforming it to suit his needs and simultaneously creating a picture of rare beauty that are the terraces.

This dreamlike path leads mostly on boardwalks along the river bank. It is mostly shaded and is therefore extremely pleasant to walk on even on hot days. Here and there you come to the river again and again and can put your feet in the refreshing water or even bathe.
