Parque Natural do Douro Internacional

Including the municipalities of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Freixo de Espada-a-Cinta, Miranda do Douro and Mogadouro, the Natural Park of the Douro International covers the 122 kilometers of border section of the Douro River and extends to the south, Rio Águeda. From a very deep valley and two planar zones (essentially granitic), one to the North with altitudes that go around the 700-800 meters and another to the South with altitudes that go around the 600-700 meters. The gorges dug by the rivers Douro and Águeda are extremely deep (they surpass 200 meters) and of great beauty. The park reaches the maximum altitude (895 meters) very close to the North border with Spain, in Our Lady of Light, and the minimum altitude (125 meters) even before finishing the Park, very close to Barca d'Alva.
