Located in the rugged mountains of northern Portugal, at more than 1.100 meters,Castro Laboreiro is a village steeped in history and tradition. Known for its picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage, this village is home to a resilient community that celebrate its heritage and customs.
The people of Castro Laboreiro are renowned for their deep connection to the land and their practice of transhumance—a centuries-old tradition of seasonal livestock migration. Each year, farmers move their cattle between the high summer pastures and the lower winter grazing grounds, a practice that not only sustains their way of life but also preserves the delicate balance of the local ecosystem.
