Location

The Novo Miradouro da Penha das Torres is located in Penha das Torres, in the locality of Ifanes, municipality of Miranda do Douro, in the district of Bragança. This observation point stands at an altitude of 675 meters, offering a privileged perspective on the landscape that stretches across both sides of the border.

The Grandeur of the Duriense Cliffs

This viewpoint provides a unique view of the Douro River and its imposing cliffs, rock formations sculpted by the action of water over millennia, which give the landscape a wild and monumental beauty. From here, it is possible to contemplate the vast dimension of the Parque Natural do Douro Internacional, a sanctuary of biodiversity where nature reveals itself in all its splendor and vastness.

A Welcoming Observation Structure

The site benefited from a recent intervention that resulted in the creation of new observation platforms. These structures were designed to provide a wide and unobstructed view of the natural surroundings, also ensuring accessibility for visitors with reduced mobility. The design of the platforms invites immersion and contemplation of the serenity and magnificence of the horizon, allowing for a unique experience of communion with nature.
