It consists mostly of a basin inside the Alps with the
Carnian Alps and the Karawanken making up the border
to Italy and Slovenia. The Tauern Mountain divides it
from Salzburg. To the east lies the state of Styria, which
makes up a continuous valley with the eastern part of the
Tyrol to the West. Its lakes are a major tourist attraction.
The main river is the Drave. The capital is Klagenfurt.
The next important town is Villach. These two towns
are strongly linked economically. The people are predominantly German speaking with a unique (and easily
recognizable) dialect.
A Slovenian minority of about 14,000 people is concentrated in the south east of the region. The state
is divided into 8 districts (Bezirke), and 2 chartered
towns – Klagenfurt and Villach. The districts are: Spit-

Castile and León is one of the 17 autonomous communities that territorially comprise Spain. With its 94,225
km 2 and a population of 2,557,330 inhabitants, it has
more land surface than any other community in Spain.
It is divided into nine provinces whose main cities are
Valladolid, Burgos, Palencia, Soria, León, Zamora, Ávila,
Segovia and Salamanca. The latter three have been
declared World Heritage Cities.
Most of the provinces consist not only of plains but also
mountains and wide rivers. The main river of Castile and
León is the Duero running through the community from east
to west and continuing on to Portugal. Castile and León is
famous for its cultural heritage as well as its wine and culinary arts. There is a high density in cultural heritage, 1,820
declared cultural properties up to the year 2010 and the
largest number of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Castile and León offers its visitors: art and culture, lively
historic cities, events, nature and relaxation, spiritual experiences and pilgrimage.
Tourist attractions include the Atapuerca archaeological site with records of the first settlers in Europe and
the Gothic Cathedral of Burgos. One of the world’s most
important pilgrim route, the Path of Saint James, also runs
through the region. Many Romanesque churches can be
found in small villages along the pilgrimage route. To admire nature, any of the nearly 40 protected natural spaces,
e.g. the Picos de Europa National Park with its Atlantic
forest, is worth a visit.
Many activities like climbing, cycle touring or kayaking
make the stay in Castile and León even more enjoyable.
But the area also has a lot to offer, even just for a relaxing stroll: Las Médulas, the largest open-air golden mine
8
Frómista
excavated during the period of the Roman Empire has also
been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
When it comes to relaxing, several spas with natural
spring waters allow tourists to rest and recuperate in firstclass scenic and cultural establishments.
Castile and León’s gastronomy varies from traditional
recipes to nouvelle cuisine. Typical dishes such as roast
milk-fed lamb, black sausage, “botillo” (stuffed cured meat)
or roast suckling pig are served with first-rate wines such
as those from the Ribera de Duero region.

The Piedmont region has an area of 25,402 square kilometres and a population of about 4.4 million inhabitants.
The name Piedmont comes from medieval Latin Pedemontium or Pedemontis, i. e. “ad pedem montium”, meaning
“at the foot of the mountains”. Piedmont is surrounded on
three sides by the Alps, including Monviso, where the Po
rises, and Monte Rosa. It borders with France, Switzerland
and the Italian regions of Lombardy, Liguria, Aosta Valley
and for a very small fragment with Emilia Romagna. The
geography of Piedmont is mainly mountainous, along with
extensive areas of hills and plains. Piedmont is the second
largest of Italy’s 20 regions, after Sicily. It is broadly contiguous with the upper part of the drainage basin of Italy’s
largest river, the Po, which rises from the slopes of Monviso
in the west of the region. Agriculture is very important, the
main products being rice, wine, maize, potatoes and the
precious white truffle.
The 15 Residenze Reali (Royal Residences), ascribed to
UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites in 1997, are perfect
highlights of art, culture and countryside and they are an
artistic and cultural treasure, not only for the region, but also
for the whole of Europe. An alternative way to visit a region is
to follow a medieval pilgrim route: Piedmont, with its doors
always open to Europe, offers this opportunity with its numerous ancient abbeys, churches and with the seven Sacri
Monti, which were also included in the UNESCO list in 2003.
The cultural heritage is made up of residences, historical
gardens, castles, fortresses and over 400 museums, ranging from civic, public and ethnographic to eco-museums.
All these can ensure a striking and complete package for
art lovers; these can range from natural science to cinema,
and from decorative art to anthropology, along with exhibition centres, with displays which range from archaeology
to contemporary art.
Vezzolano
With its 160,000 hectares of protected land, Piedmont
provides the opportunity to discover unique countryside
and typical habitats of alpine areas, of hills and plains.
Piedmont is home to two national parks: the Gran Paradiso and the Val Grande. The north-east of the region
is occupied by the well-known Lago Maggiore and the
Lago d’Orta.
When it comes to gastronomy, Piedmont offers fine
Italian cuisine and regales guests with its very own wine:
the Barolo. Eleven places of origin of grapes suitable for
making of Barolo DOCG (Protected Designation of Origin)
have been included in the package. This route also reflects
another highlight of Piedmont – picturesque historical
villages. Indicated as “Italy’s Loveliest Villages”, Bergolo
with its well-renovated stone houses and panoramic position is one example of these charming communities.
Past and future, art and the culture of food, handicrafts
and research are all established in a region with a powerful
productive impulse: an area which is both at the cutting edge
of innovation and new technology and characterised by extraordinary natural richness. Here, the cultural opportunities
go hand in hand with the array of free-time activities.

MAIN GEOGRAPHICAL
CHARACTERISTICS
The Tâmega and Sousa consists of 12 municipalities:
Amarante, Baião, Castelo de Paiva, Celorico de Basto,
Cinfães, Felgueiras, Lousada, Marco de Canaveses,
Paços de Ferreira, Paredes, Penafiel and Resende.
With an area of 1,988 km2, accounting for 9.3% of the
North region, the Tâmega and Sousa is a heterogeneous
domain, the transition between the Metropolitan Area of
Porto and the interior of the North region. Here resides a
population of about 527,000 inhabitants (2006). One thing
worth noting is the high percentage of the young people,
almost 19% of the population, higher than the national
average (15.5%), together with demographic ageing much
lower than the one in the remaining areas of the North
and Mainland.
This region has been shaped by its physical and geographical characteristics, giving it its particular Mediterranean climate and cultural heritage. With mild winters and
not too intense summers, it is ideal for a holiday at any
time of year. The highest areas of the region, such as the
sierras of Aboboreira, Alvão, Marão and Montemuro, are
covered, in the harshest winters, with beautiful mantles of
snow. The rainy season is relatively short, between November and January, and as showers are not too frequent,
outdoor activities can still go ahead unhampered.
TOURISM OFFER
In the land of the valleys of Tâmega and Sousa, in the
heart of the North of Portugal, stands an important
architectural heritage of Romanesque origin. Common
traits that carry legends and stories born with the foundation of the Nationality and which witness the significant role that this territory formerly played in the history
23
24
Ferreira
of the nobility and religious orders in Portugal. On a
voyage through history, the Route of the Romanesque
also offers moments of contemplation to its visitors and
invites them to contact the peoples of the region.
Trails and paths await you for walking or cycling, in
perfect communion with nature. And the river Paiva challenges the boldest of tourists with unique experiences
with unforgettable rafting slides. Numerous festivities and
pilgrimages are the privileged stage for a re- enactment
of the old markets, brought alive by the unique forms of
dancing, playing and singing. The region also has its own
traditional arts and crafts, particularly embroidery, linen
work, and the restoration of artwork and woodcarving.
Savour the tastes and aromas of traditional cuisine,
always served with excellent quality green wine grown
in these lands. Tourists can recover their strength in the
quietness that surrounds the rural tourism units in the
region or go for a walk in the centenary gardens, where
time seems to have stood still. Wherever they go, they
will be welcomed with the courtesy and authenticity of
the local population.
The Tourist Information Centres of the Route of the
Romanesque are welcoming and support spaces for visitors and tourists, where they can access interactive and
educational information on the Route of the Romanesque
and the territory of Tâmega and Sousa. The Route of
the Romanesque, like its main access points, is properly
signposted throughout the region.

3 days to learn how Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
DOP and Parmesan cheese are made and can be used: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena matures in the quietness
of acetaie, thanks to the peculiar technique of travasi and
many years of ageing. The Balsamico is obtained from the
cooked grape that has to mature in a slow process derived
from natural fermentation and progressive concentration in
barrels of different woods, without adding any extra ingredients. Parmigiano-Reggiano is never manufactured, always
hand-made, today, as it was eight centuries ago, with essential
and genuine ingredients: high quality milk from the local area
of production, fire, rennet, with good old methods, with the art
and knowledge of the cheese maker. Then it ages naturally for
two years or more. This also involves work, since wheels need
to be cleaned and rotated, checked and kept day by day, so
that they can reach the high quality standards.
The price includes
2 nights with accommodation in double room in 3/4*-hotel in
Modena or surroundings.

Highlights: Monastery Žiča – Monastery Studenica
Monastery Žiča - visit
» Žiča monastery (founded by the Serbian King Stefan “the
First-Crowned” at the beginning of the 13th century) is of
great historical importance. The Church of the Ascension
served as the first seat of the independent Serbian Archbishopric and played a very important role in the religious,
political and cultural life of mediaeval Serbia. In its basic
features, the architecture of Žiča, which has undergone
considerable changes, belongs to the oldest school of Serbian medieval architecture. The interior fresco decoration
dates from various periods.
Monastery Studenica – visit and lunch
» Studenica monastery (founded by Stefan Nemanja, who
took monastic orders there choosing the name Simeon) is
considered to be the crowning achievement of medieval
culture and art in Serbia.
» The monastic complex consists of the fascinating Church of
the Virgin (1183-1196), the Church of SS Joachim and Anne
(also known as the King‘s Church) and the Church of St.
Nicholas, a simple single-nave building. The monastery circle
contains monuments raised over a period of 130 years and
several Serbian rulers had a hand in their construction.
» At the start of this period, the young Serbian feudal state
under Nemanja was consolidating its independence, and
by Milutin‘s reign it had reached the height of its political,
cultural and economic power. The strengthening of the
medieval state and of its ruler‘s might is naturally reflected
in these monuments. In this unique ambient, we will have
lunch, served by monastery ruler‘s.
