Minho Highlands

To discover at slow pace

Welcome to We Want Green!

We Want Green is a project that offers experiences in the middle of nature, with the aim of repairing the psychological and emotional wear and tear caused by contemporary urban life.

To do this, we start from the conviction that periodic immersion in the slow breathing of the woods, mountains and countryside makes it possible to compensate for the imbalance caused by the excess or noise, agitation, tension and demands of everyday life.

And what could be more perfect for your regenerating holidays and getaways than the mountainous and green Alto Minho territory?

Para encher o coração por inteiro

To fill the whole heart

On this morning of inaugural clarity, high up among the ruins of the castle, our eyes flickering with amazement, we sensed the slow breathing of history in the murmur of the wind. And we feel it throbbing as we run our hands over the stones that make up what remains of the fortress built on this impossible site in the early days of the founding of nationality and beyond.

A Estranha Beleza das Pequenas Coisas

The Strange Beauty of Small Things

And little by little we integrate into the landscape, diluting it, completely overwhelmed by the mysterious beauty of the granite, a pure and perfect glimpse of eternity. This is what counts, everything else is redundant.

Peneda Trail

As we got closer to the top, the granite of the mountain took the centre of the stage, showing off its magnificent sculptural forms. By the time we reached the top of the route, the sky had cleared completely and the light was now at its peak of perfection.
