Hiking to a Hidden Fortress from 1st Century BC

Join me on one of Portugal’s most scenic hikes — the PR7 VRM trail in Vieira do Minho. This circular route begins at the 17th-century Senhora da Lapa Sanctuary, dramatically built beneath a giant boulder, and leads to the site of a hill fort dating back to the 1st century BC.

Along the way, we’re treated to breathtaking mountain views, quiet forests, and traces of ancient history high above the surrounding valleys. If you love hiking, heritage, and hidden gems in northern Portugal — this trail delivers it all.
