Covide

Covide has a basic store on the right side of the road at the entrance to town and a café a bit further on. Stock up here if you can — there's no shop in Campo do Gerês except at the campground past the village, and that's not always convenient.

You're now approaching the Peneda-Gerês National Park, and the landscape is changing rapidly. The granite mountains, the dense forest, and the rushing streams all signal that you're entering one of the wildest corners of Portugal.
