Around the 2nd century, the Romans came to this area in search of gold and discovered a place with a special charm: the land of the Doade and Amandi. Nineteen centuries later, although there are still gold nuggets along the auriferous Sil, people no longer come to the Ribeira Sacra in search of this precious metal, but the reason for the journey is to seek natural beauty, gastronomy and an escape into an encounter with Mother Earth.
