Another beautiful Barroso village that invites us to stop, get to know and pause for a while. Set in the plateau area from where you can see the peaks of the Gerês mountains and Larouco, near the small Salas river reservoir and surrounded by fields, water-meadows and oak woods, Tourém nestles in an extraordinarily scenic landscape. Within this frontier village the group of essentially granite-built houses have a great architectural value, as does the communal heritage, a symbol of the collective spirit of the community. Of note are the Communal Oven, chapel of Santa Ana and parish Church of Tourém, Presa mill, the Medieval Bridge and the former byre of the communal bull, now a nucleus of the Barroso Ecomuseum. This museum focusses on the theme of smuggling, the Mixed Couto (micro-state), political exiles and the cross-border relationship, together with an exhibition of the main species of avifauna that occur in Tourém and the Mourela Plateau, where there is a wide variety of bird life, including migratory species.
