Junceda Viewpoint
Miradouro da Junceda
A hillside viewpoint west of Gerês town, looking straight down on the spa town and the Gerês valley; best for watching the sunset.
Junceda Viewpoint sits on the hillside west of Gerês town, right beside the Junceda forestry station. From here you get a direct view over the whole spa town, the valley and the Gerês peaks opposite. It is the best spot for panoramic photos of the town, especially on clear evenings when the setting sun lights up the granite mountains. You can drive up a forest track from town, or walk up from town on a trail, a round trip of about 2 hours. There are pine woods and picnic areas nearby, and it is free to visit. Its perspective differs from that of the Pedra Bela Viewpoint to the southeast; if you have time, visit both.
