Casa do Capitão · Ecomuseu
In the village of Salto, Montalegre, this granite manor house is a pole of the Ecomuseu de Barroso — keeping alive the crafts of wool and linen, the seasonal transhumance and the memory of the wolfram mines of nearby Borralha.
A proper deep-country museum for those who want the real Barroso, paired naturally with the Borralha quarry walk.
