From Alta-Falisa:
A few young trees have been recently planted, the site is looked after. And rightly, as Orca de Pendilhe, so quiet and serene and majestic, ranks among the most striking sites I have visited in North Portugal.
Signposted "Orca de Pendilhe" along the road N.225. From there, accessible by car on a ca. 800 m long earth road.
