Rural Portugal at Its Purest (No Tourists, Just Goats)

Tucked deep in Portugal’s Serra de São Macário mountains, Covas do Monte is a remote village that time has forgotten. Home to just a few dozen residents, and thousands of goats, Covas do Monte is one of the most isolated places in the country. In this video, we explore its traditional shepherding life, and incredible mountain landscapes. Along the way, you'll see what it’s like to drive the narrow, twisting road that leads to Covas do Monte, including the Portal do Inferno (Gate of Hell) pass. Whether you're into rural life, untouched nature, or off-the-map destinations, this is a glimpse into a side of Portugal few ever experience. 🌎 Map with the locations of ALL my videos: https://bit.ly/3tRK6NC ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🤗 Support the channel 🤗 ▶️ To support the channel, you can 'Buy Me a Coffee' ☕ at https://www.BuyMeACoffee.com/POVTours ▶️ If you enjoy my videos and want to keep the channel alive, please consider helping the channel.
