Rock art, the site! The Canada do Inferno site is on of the most important sites in the Côa Park (see more in TRACCE Online Bulletin #5). The area is still menaced in winter by the water of the river Douro river. Horses and cows, palaeolithic style figures over red vertical panels. A huge gash in the rocky mountain slope: the foot of the damned dam, now projected to host a museum. A unique environmental and archaeological victory, we hope forever.
