We recommend you to go deep into A Cidade Hill with the first rays of the sun. Here you will find the remains of an ancient Iron-Age settlement (castro) and of the houses of the farmers who inhabited it later. One of the most striking constructions in the area is a well-preserved aqueduct in the middle of the woods. It was built in 1787 and used for channelling water to water crops grown in terraces along the river.
