In Mafómedes, Baião, in the heart of the Serra do Marão, we find Refúgio do Valado, a welcoming wooden chalet surrounded by nature, tranquility, and mountain landscapes. There are places where we don't just go to spend a few days, we go to slow down, find peace, breathe deeply, and feel nature. At the foot of the Serra do Marão, stands what is considered by many to be the most remote village in the Porto district, with only 20 inhabitants, Mafómedes. The simple panoramic view of this village is worth a visit in itself, but take the opportunity to discover its hidden corners and, at the end, recharge your batteries with a delicious meal at the famous Tasca do Valado restaurant, located just steps from the refuge, where traditional cuisine meets the flavors of the mountains. Take the opportunity to try the addictive Teixeira biscuit. From the Valado Refuge, you can explore the trails of the Serra do Marão, walk along the Teixeira River, enjoy the Mafómedes River Beach, visit villages and mountain landscapes, or simply read a good book and let time pass at the rhythm of the mountains.
