"Piodao" Piódão by salinhopt

Piódão Travel Guide: 35 reviews and 66 photos

Between the mounts of the Mountain range of the Acor, hides a village of tradition. Piodao rises hillside above, in narrow alleys and houses lined up with small windows of blue color. It is here that you can drink good "aguardente" of honey or for proving honey with hazelnuts. And for who comes to the search of challenges, the strolls pedestrians or the BTT. They can make more pleasant visit. The nature offered to the village all the beauty of the Mountain range of the Acor.

Piodao - Cascade

The beauty is hard to tell. The water that run in the valley, that jumps in the waterfalls, the sound that emit in the silence of the mountain range and the pure air that if breathes do not have comparison. Between an entrancing green and the houses. The typical tracing of the architecture, the white of the medieval church and the pleasantness of the people stays in the heart, as a love passion. And the return, you will take in the memory the calm and the beauty of a historical village preserved by the man and the nature.
