In the mountains of northeast<\/strong> Portugal<\/strong>, a region of extensive olive<\/strong> groves<\/strong> and where the almond<\/strong> trees<\/strong> blossom in spring (February and March) and the vineyards<\/strong> in autumn (September and October) are covered by leaves the color of fire, there is a tributary of the River Douro with a universally recognized name<\/strong>. It is the C\u00f4a<\/strong>, known due to the ancient rock art scattered along the last stretch of the river. The schist outcrops in the valley have been converted into art canvases over the millennia<\/strong>, holding\u00a0thousands<\/strong> of engraved motifs that are the legacy of our ancestors\u2019 creative instinct<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
