The Essence of the Olive Tree

Olive trees are not merely landscape elements; they also represent a strong bond with the region's culture and history. These millennial trees are symbols of peace, longevity, and prosperity, deeply rooted in Portuguese identity.

Their presence in the garden is a tribute to an ancestral agricultural tradition and a bridge to Arouca's surrounding cultural landscape. Walking among these trees is, in a way, connecting with the local heritage and way of life.
