Beleiral, or Baleiral in current nomenclature, is a small hamlet in the parish of Gavieira, in the municipality of Arcos de Valdevez. It is set on the banks of the Peneda River at the foot of the granite hills.

It enjoys an attractive landscape in which the riverside areas feature strongly, lush green in the spring, and where the sounds and smells of nature are evident. Not to be missed either is the small, farmed valley floor with terraces above that occupy the most fertile area between the houses and the river.

For those who like photography there is no shortage of good scenery.

Beleiral is an ideal spot for a break in the walk.
