Miradouro de São Leonardo de Galafura

The Miradouro de São Leonardo de Galafura stands at 640 meters, offering panoramic views of the Douro River and surrounding vineyard-covered hills.

The site, formerly a Roman fort governed by Galafre, contains several deep Roman wells used for mineral extraction and research.

Portuguese writer Miguel Torga immortalized this location through his literary works, with excerpts now displayed on stone panels at the viewpoint.

The viewpoint features a restaurant serving regional dishes, stone tables for picnics, and a spacious parking area accessible via a paved mountain road.

From this elevation, visitors can observe the intersection of two valleys formed by the Douro River and Rio Ceira, creating distinct geological formations.
