As dawn breaks, delve into the remnants of Roman worship at the temple of Diana and stand in awe before the towering Menhir do Outeiro, a testament to ancient craftsmanship before venturing to the mystical Cromlech do Xarez and the captivating Escoural Cave, where ancient art whispers secrets of bygone eras.
