(34) THE COUNTRYSIDE AT MONTALEGRE
Montalegre is a municipality up in the North of Portugal, in the so called Barroso Land. The word Montalegre means Cheerful Mount.
The Barroso Land (Terra Barrosã or País Barrosão) is named after the Barroso Mountain, quite close to the Peneda-Gerês National Park (Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês), in the province of Trás-os-Montes - which means Behind-the-Mounts.
