Troviscais

This small Village took its name from the plant called “Trovisco” or “Travisco” as the inhabitants of the village would say and which, according to an old belief, would prevent the thunders to appear in the place.

Rio Mira

Rio Mira is one of the best attractions of the location of Casas da Cerca. The pathway that connects both places is surprisingly beautiful, and it is sometimes possible to appreciate countryside activities such as pasturing or wild boar hunting.
