Castelo Novo & Amarante: Rural Retreats 🌿

Both towns (near Serra da Gardunha and Douro Valley, respectively) feature charming nature walks. At Amarante, hike along the Tâmega River with your pup and visit the old bridge (Ponte de São Gonçalo). In Castelo Novo, explore the ancient slate villages – your pet will love the quiet trails. Sleep: Look for rural Turismo de Aldeia or Cottages in Guarda region; many welcome dogs. For example, “Cerdeirinhas” cottages (Castelo Novo) offer fenced yards. 🌼🐾 #DogTravel #Portugal #Petfriendly
