With large open spaces, oblivious to the human hustle and bustle, Gerês-Xurés shares many resources from before the existence of a border that today is barely a line on the maps: thermalism, which can be enjoyed in Lobios, Gerês or Melgaço; the presence of a singular biodiversity that extends even to the area of the most common animals, such as the cow, with races such as La Cachena, or the pig, Bísaro or Celta, depending on which side of the border it is named; with natural resources such as honey, mountain gastronomy, sausages, cheeses ... The purpose of this guide is to integrate the agri-food, tourism and handicraft resources of the transboundary biosphere reserve into a single document, as part of an inventory within the Gerês-Xurés Dinámico project, co-financed by 75 percent by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
