Located between Famalicão and Barcelos, on the left bank of the Este river, the House of Quinta da Ponte do Louro is a good example of the traditional house of this region in the 18th century, with a large treshing-floor paved with granite that once received the cereal crops, and surrounded by huge trees inside a romantic garden and a beautiful park. Its history is bound up with the French invasions, holding doors and windows covered with an iron plate and hatch to fire a weapon. Still in full activity, this farm welcomes the visitor with an experience of quietness and bucolic peace, offering the opportunity to watch the farm animals and the agriculture works or simply relax by the pool.
