Portugal has so many beautiful things to offer us that sometimes it is difficult to decide what to visit in a short period of time if you are on holiday here! My job is to make things easier for you as a tourist, if you stay in the North of the country for example in the city of Porto I can invite you to make a stop in a town called "Vila Nova de Cerveira", then you will drive about 10km to the mountain called "Alto do Castro" and then you will look for the "Do Servant" viewpoint and get ready to live an adventure full of the best views of the valley and the Mino river!🏰📸🗺️
Portugal tiene tantas cosas bonitas que ofrecernos que a veces es dificil decidir que visitar en un corto periodo de tiempo si estas de vacaciones aqui! mi trabajo es hacerte las cosas mas facil a ti que eres turista, si te quedas en el Norte del pais por ejemplo en la ciudad de Porto te puedo invitar a hacer una parada en una ciudad llamada "Vila Nova de Cerveira", luego conduciras unos 10km hasta la Montana llamada "Alto do Castro" y luego buscaras el mirador "del siervo" y preparate para vivir una aventura cargada de las mejores vistas del valle y rio Mino!🚙🚩🧭
Origin of "Alto do Castro"🏔️🌍/Origen de "Alto do Castro"🚩🗺️
Everything we see related to the word Castro is a term that refers to constructions that date back to the Bronze Age, probably 2500 BC, and is the name designated to the mountain where the viewpoint is located. There are scientific records that there were already small populations inhabiting the entire mountain that surrounds the river "Mino", the formation of the river and mountain have a much older origin than when continental Portugal had volcanoes. Hundreds of years later, between the II and III AD, the Romans created one of the best cities in "Vila Nova de Cerveira".🧔🏻♂️📸
Todo lo que veamos relacionado con la palabra "Castrista" es un termino que hace referencia a construcciones que datan de la era de bronce probablemente del 2500 antes de Cristo, y es el nombre designado a esta montana donde esta el mirador, existen registros cientificos que ya habian pequenas poblaciones habitando toda la montana que rodea el rio "Mino", la formacion del rio y montana tienen un origen muchisimo mas antiguo de cuando Portugal continental presentaba Volcanes. Cientos de anos despues entre el II y III despues de Cristo los Romanos crearon una de las mejores ciudades en "Vila Nova de Cerveira".🏔️⛰️🌄
An adventure of height🏔️🌍/Una aventura de altura🚩🗺️
The 360 degree view from the top of the mountain is one of the best I've seen in Portugal for a long time. There are so many details here that you could spend a whole day exploring all the paths left by hundreds of adventurers, some of them extending hundreds of kilometers to the north of Spain. The highest point of this mountain is 620 meters, which is almost where the "servant" monument was built. I didn't have time, but I recommend that you climb the mountain by the trail, it will take you about 4 hours, or you can simply come by vehicle.📸🌍
La vista de 360 grados desde el mirador o tope de la sierra es una de las mejores que e visto en Portugal por mucho tiempo, hay tantos detalles aqui que podemos pasar un dia completo explorando todos los caminos dejados por cientos de aventureros, algunos de ellos se extienden cientos de kilometros hasta el norte de Espana, el punto mas alto de esta montana son 620 metros que es casi donde fue construido el monumento del "siervo"; yo no tenia tiempo pero recomiendo que para subir la montana lo hagas por el sendero te tomara unas 4 horas, o simplemente puedes venir en vehiculo.🚩🧭
This particular photo is interesting because you see a bridge, that bridge is the one that crosses the Mino River, and crossing it we arrive in Spain, that is why this whole area throughout its history had a lot of relevance, because Spain and Portugal were at war for almost all of history! and all the border villages were always reinforced with castles and things of a military nature.🫅🏻
Esta foto en particular es interesante porque ves un puente, ese puente es el que atraviesa el rio mino, y pasandolo llegamos a Espana, por eso toda esta zona durante toda su historia tuvo mucha relevancia, debido a que espana y portugal por casi toda la historia estuvieron en guerras! y todas las aldeas fronterizas siempre fueron reforzadas con castillos y cosas de indole militar.🏰
About the monument "del siervo"🏔️🦌/Sobre el monumeto "del siervo"🚩🗺️
The servant, as I said in the video, represents a deer, a fairly common animal decades ago! Nowadays they are not seen in freedom, the monument is more than 20 meters high and was built by José Rodríguez who died at the age of 79, the material used for the deer was concrete and iron, it was painted black and can be seen from the town more than 15km away, there are those who say that the monument can be seen from Spain!🦌🦌🦌
El siervo tal como lo decia en el video representa un ciervo, un animal bastante comun decadas atras! hoy en dia no se ven en libertad, el monumento tiene mas de 20 metros de altura y fue construido por José Rodrígues quien fallecio a los 79 anos, el material usado para el ciervo fue concreto y hierro, fue pintado de color negro y se puede ver desde la villa a mas de 15km, hay quienes dicen que se puede ver el monumento desde espana! 📸🌄
Explosion of Colors🏔️🦌/Explosion de Colores🚩🗺️
You don't have to worry about piloting the craft because there are no restrictions, I just don't recommend going over 60 meters because there is a small airport nearby and well you don't want to get into trouble, as the area is popular for drone use check if there is no other person around to avoid crashes or accidents! I think the best time of year to visit the viewpoint is in the spring because we see the mountain quite dense with flowers and bushes, summers are drier.🏰🏔️🗺️
No tienes que preocuparte en pilotear la nave porque no hay restriccion, solo no te recomiendo pasar los 60 metros porque cerca hay un aeropuerto pequeno y bueno no querras meterte en problemas, como la zona es popular para uso de drones verifica si no hay otra persona por alli para evitar choques o accidentes! creo que la mejor epoca del ano para visitar el mirador es en la primavera porque vemos la montana bastante tupida de flores y arbustos, veranos es mas seco.⛰️🏰🫅🏻
A bit of the trail🏔️🦌/Un poco del sendero🚩🗺️
The name of the trail is: "Vila Nova de Cerveira" and it has a length of 8.26km starting at the lowest point in the village, then you will go up the entire mountain passing through these forests until you reach 327 meters where the terrain will become more difficult and you will end up reaching 620 meters where you will find the "do cervo" viewpoint, depending on how you see it, it appears with names in Spanish, Portuguese, Galicia.🧭🚩🗺️
El nombre del sendero es: "Vila Nova de Cerveira" y tiene una extension de 8,26km comenzando en el punto mas bajo en la villa, luego iras subiendo por toda la montana pasando por estos bosques hasta llegar a 327metros donde el terreno se pondra mas dificil y acabas por llegar a 620metros donde encontraras el mirador "do cervo" dependiendo como lo veas aparece con nombres en espanol, portugues, galicia.🌍🌄🦌
