| Rock art,
great site!
The Penascosa site is very important in the Côa Park (see
more in TRACCE Online Bulletin #5), surely one of the
most exciting. The best place to to find
a contact with the Prehistoric Art. The area remains
quite untouched, not beeing affected by the negative impact
of the Pocinho Dam. The engraved panels border a quiet Côa
river, like watching the animals while they were watering.
In a very close site Palaeolithic material (Magdalenian
stone tools) has been found. Horses
and cows, Pyrenaic goats
and scratched deers show a
clear series of superimpositions.
Not far, the Quinta de Ervamoira
is a beautiful farm producing one of the best Porto
Wines.
