Couralogia

Couralogy spreads throughout this territory and inspires all adventurers who set out to discover the culture, history and science of the region. And nothing like a good host to guide visitors on this adventure: when you get to Paredes de Coura, ask for the Coura River!

Since its origin, this experienced host has been responsible for maintaining and receiving all forms of life in this territory. He listened to the stories and daydreams of poets and writers who narrated the lives of people, but also of all the restless minds who went to its shores in search of tranquility and solutions. There are countless works that were born from the inspiration of this host that has been narrated since the first century of the Christian Era, who has had several names, but is now a proud native of Cour. Its currents dance to popular music, but also to Coldplay. Its strength shaped Couraíso, the natural habitat of music, but also of poetry, arts and tradition. Aquilino Ribeiro left us these words: “(…) in Paredes de Coura, and at lunchtime, trout from the Coura river, the most trout-bearing river in the world, olives and marinated bogas, corn bread and long conversations of friends who meet again (...)". The River Coura, with the help of the people, molded and created the idyllic landscapes of this territory full of traditions, but also innovation. And when the "World (is) to the contrary he recalls that "the crazy ones are the ones who make us believe" that innovation is born in the sea, when everyone knows that it was in the Boalhosa mountains.

When you arrive, ask about the Coura River, he will guide all his visitors through the COURAlógica Reserve, providing information about the trails, exhibition spaces and even some secrets and information that he heard in his wanderings. We cannot forget that the river is not confined to its bed, it infiltrates the ground and flows in fountains, ponds and fountains. So it's very easy to find. How can we talk to Coura? It's easy, using a smartphone and walking around the territory.
