Ger\u00eas, in the municipality of Terras de Bouro, has always symbolised harmony between Man and Nature, in a permanent sharing of activities and feelings, of the people allied to the nature of the inhospitable granite mountains moulded by time. The waters run through the streams and the pure air surrounds the great diversity of fauna and flora, providing a continuous movement of calm and pleasure.<\/p>\n
An important tourist destination for more than a century, Ger\u00eas is a brand to defend, preserve and to take legitimate advantage of for the sustainability of the region. Ger\u00eas offers high quality products and services designed to provide the well-being so necessary in today\u2019s busy lives.<\/p>\n
Of unquestionable value is the Peneda-Ger\u00eas National Park. This was the first protected area created in Portugal (1971), by Decree-Law No. 187\/71 of 8 May, and the only one with National Park status. It is located in the northern region of Portugal, sharing a border with Galicia, which forms a continuous landscape with the Baixa Limia-Serra do Xur\u00e9s Natural Park, in the municipality of L\u00f3bios, in Spain. These two parks make up the Ger\u00eas-Xur\u00eas Transfrontier Park. Besides the areas of influence of the rivers Minho, Lima, C\u00e1vado and Homem, the Peneda-Ger\u00eas National Park is part of the granite massifs of Peneda, Amarela and Ger\u00eas. It has a total area of 69,693 hectares, covering five municipalities: Arcos de Valdevez, Melga\u00e7o, Montalegre, Ponte da Barca and Terras de Bouro (It represents 55.7% of the total area of this municipality).<\/p>\n
The region is predominantly granite and mountainous, with altitudes reaching 1545m, on Pico da Nevosa, in Terras de Bouro. Part of the mountains that constitute it have suffered interventions by Man, continuously, since Neolithic times.<\/p>\n
