Nature and surroundings
The village of São Jorge is on the edge of the Parque Nacional Peneda Gerês. Here you can explore a true wilderness without crowds. Even in the peak of summer you can find yourself alone in nature wandering the herding paths in the mountains. There are a multitude of small rivers where you can bathe in clean, clear mountain water. Just a short walk from the house you will find a river beach on the edge of the Rio Lima where you can take a swim and relax under the shade of the trees. Further afield there is the wild Atlantic coast where you can also find yourself a quiet beach to spend the day. The small towns of Arcos and Ponte da Barca are close by and you can visit the weekly markets on Wednesdays. These towns also have small and large grocery stores but you can also by essentials from a village store a few minutes walk from the house. Peak season is August, but you will still find isolation and quiet in the area. The best months for hiking are April, May, June, September, October.
