One of my favorite places is the wide area of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, where you can find some extraordinary landscapes, from the green woods to rocky and harsh mountains, always with water close by. The human presence is noticed by many villages, where life still runs on the rhythm of nature.
Um dos meus lugares preferidos é a vasta área do Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês, onde se podem encontrar algumas paisagens extraordinárias, desde bosques verdejantes a montanhas rochosas e agrestes, sempre com a água por perto. A presença humana faz-se notar pelas inúmeras aldeias, onde a vida ainda corre ao ritmo da Natureza.

Very beautiful pastoral scene. The goatherder is at peace with his occupation and the village architecture fits nicely with the local geography. Well done!
More than once I thought that I wouldn't mind to be in the place of the goatherder, and enjoy the peaceful and silent scenery for a couple of weeks... :)
What a great panorama! It simply amazes me that such places like this still exist.
Apart from a couple of modern houses mixed with the older and a few other signs of modern life as cars, electric wires or a satellite tv plate, everything else still exists, and it's only a short drive from major cities like Braga or Porto.

Boa Semana.
Hi Paulo,
I enjoyed your paintings very much. What lively stories they tell! They make me feel as if I was walking on a street somewhere in Portugal. And thanks also for posting your comment on my blog.
Há de facto, Villager, algumas semelhanças nas paisagens naturais e humanas das duas serras.
Uma boa semana, também!
Keiko, thank you. I hope you visit my blog again, and also my country one day.
I became a fan of your work, and I'm always looking forward to see your wonderful daily paintings.
