Casalinho de Cima is a small collection of old houses looking up the valley towards Góis. As you approach the village from Góis, you become aware of a group of colossal eucalyptus trees, nearly 1m in diameter. The eucalyptus were set over 40 years ago, when many of the eucalyptus plantations were established, but they have never been cut, allowing the trees to grow to maturity. (Today it is illegal to plant eucalyptus). A narrow lane leads upwards into the hamlet of Casalinho de Cima. The village is built from round quartzite boulders, originally deposited by the glaciers that carved out the region. |
