Mata de Albergaria
Forest · Portugal
Centuries-old pedunculate oaks line the old Roman road, the Geira, near the Portela do Homem crossing into Peneda-Gerês National Park, one of the last intact fragments of the Iberian Peninsula's original forest cover. Chestnut and oak color the understory through late September and October.
