Description of Experience
Time, Borderland, and Memory
n the highlands of the border, the pace slows and the horizon opens.
A day to discover a landscape shaped by mountains, memory and the lives of borderland communities.
Along paths, through villages and over local flavours, we explore a territory where life on the border has left deep traces in ways of living and in the relationship with the mountains.
Discover. Understand. Inhabit.
→ Each experience is a starting point. If you are looking for another way to discover the place, share your interests with us.
→ Together, we will find a proposal shaped around your own pace: geral@wewantgreen.pt
