early April 2024 there were regular rainy days, from 18/04 dry, sunny weather with Temperatures 16/20 gr in the shade. So ideal for picnic with light sweater on. In the sun it feels like 22 gr and there is a pleasant breeze. Ideal time to visit the area because I am pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the locals (compared to the north and south of Portugal.) and the beautiful green nature with many waterfalls and pools, the flowery (vegetable) gardens and roadsides even flowery rock faces in the villages.
