The Region
S. Pedro do Sul is a Beira city that lies in the valley of Lafões, framed by the massive mountains of Arada, Gralheira and St. Macarius. These ridges with its green landscapes, its streams of cold and crystal clear water, its hidden villages in the valleys and mountains combined with the magnificent sunset and sunrise, from which you can enjoy, is a piece of the world that serves as a refuge to gods of inspiration.
Nas serranias a vida corre ao sabor da calmaria do tempo e num espaço que chega para que todos vivam em harmonia com a natureza e é desta que se extrai o xisto para construir as casas típicas, das típicas aldeias da Pena, do Fujaco, de Covas do Monte ou Covas do Rio. Aldeias abençoadas pelas centenárias capelas de S. Macário de cima e a ermita S. Macário de baixo. Todo este maciço montanhoso do “Monte Magaio” vive envolto em tradições, rituais, mitos, lendas, crenças de cabras que matam lobos, de serpentes que comem homens e de santos que transportam brasas acesas nas mãos, cujas memórias não se apagaram no correr dos novos tempos. The gentle candor of highlanders people it is noted in the fraternity with which we obsequeiam, with good ham and homemade bread, homemade smoked sausage and also the traditional brandy or fine glass of green wine Lafões.

S. Pedro do Sul, the most flowery bed of Lafões, contains within itself the infinite landscapes that our eye can see; populated a thousand colors and smells that many trees and flowers exalt the sweet fragrance wild; from above the green branches to see harmonious melodies with the nightingales greet us and hunger and thirst can be killed by the mountain flavors.
