In this region with a treeless and rugged landscape, bizarre-looking granite formations abound, which, shaped by wind and rain, acquire curious appearances with fanciful connotations decorating and brightening the scenery surrounding Sortelha. Many of them have suggestive names, and others are associated with some local legends.
