Just Natur: Hospitality and Living Nature in Castro Laboreiro

Located in Castro Laboreiro, a border village in the municipality of Melgaço, at the heart of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, Just Natur is a tourism and local accommodation project deeply rooted in its territory. Here, nature is not a backdrop — it asserts itself from the very first moment. The imposing mountains and the sculptural beauty of granite create a landscape so powerful that the senses seem to pause upon arrival.

At the Just Natur guesthouse, in the centre of the village, guests are welcomed with genuine warmth and a familial spirit. This is the starting point for an unforgettable journey through local culture, where homemade regional flavours intertwine with stories, gestures and knowledge passed down through generations.

From here, guests can explore the national park through guided tours and walking routes, always enriched by an attentive reading of the landscape and its cultural significance. Visits to the most emblematic brandas and inverneiras are essential to understanding the unique castreja transhumance — a way of life shaped by the mountain, the seasons and human resilience.
A climb to the ruins of Castro Laboreiro Castle rewards visitors with breathtaking views, capable of setting the heart racing. Wherever you go, the pure, fresh and fragrant air accompanies the experience.

Just Natur also invites guests to discover culinary and agricultural traditions. Cooking workshops encourage hands-on participation in traditional recipes, while a visit to the organic garden, cultivated according to traditional practices, reveals the close bond between land and food. The Chocolate Museum pays tribute to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of the local people, recalling unexpected stories that form part of this mountain’s identity.

Above all, do not leave without experiencing one of the most meaningful moments: preparing and sharing a meal to which you may contribute before enjoying it together with your hosts. A simple, deeply human experience — and one you will not forget.
