Information Centre in North Portugal

Porta do Lindoso = Gate of Lindoso.
"Porta" or "Gate" is to be understood as Information Centre about the Natural Park ; "Lindoso" is the name of the village, famous for its castle where the Information Centre is installed.

Note : There are another four such "Portas" around the Parque Nacional da Penada-Gérês (PNPG), where you'll find general information and documents about the park (fauna, flora, etc., and megaliths in the region).

I strongly recommend a preliminary visit to the Information Centre of Lindoso : the Porta do Lindoso.

The region uphill of Britelo is rich in megaliths! On this page click on "Porta do Lindoso", and among the "Listagem dos percoursos", select "Trilho do Megalitismo do Britelo"
"Britelo" is a village along the road N.304-1/N.203 half-way towards Ponte da Barca),

See this page: http://adere-pg.pt/trilhos/imagens/ficheiros/074319_1_4143_TrBritelo.pdf
That document, indispensable, is also available at the Porta do Lindoso.
