The result of more than two decades of dedicated archaeological research, “Montes, Pedras e Gente” presents us with a fascinating journey through the past of the upper valley of the Coura river in the ancient and still obscure times of Proto-History.
In around three hundred pages, the author, through simple and direct writing, invites the reader to travel through the mountains of Paredes de Coura, to enter its fortified villages, to handle its stones and artefacts, to get to know the reality that involved its people.
An indispensable book for anyone who wants to know more about the past that shaped modern man and about a territory that, long before being the stage for popular modern music festivals, witnessed the incessant struggle of human communities for survival, in a permanent challenge against adversity.
