Casa de Alfena is a manorhouse from the XVIII century linked to a group of rural buildings and old goldsmith’s workshops. The house and the rural buildings have been adapted to receive guests and the workshops are now a gold museum. Classified for its historical, cultural, and architectural significance, the house has five comfortably furnished rooms each with its own bathroom (three in the main building, and two in a converted granary), two living rooms, one games room, a rustic granite kitchen, and a large balcony supported by granite pillars. The house shares its gardens, granite threshing-floor, patios, and swimming pool with the museum. Travassos is a traditional filigree (Latin: filum-granum) workshop-village, located in the North bank of river Ave, by the Andorinha dam, and in the vicinity of Peneda-Gerês National Park, Cabreira mountainous ridge, and Ermal dam. Braga, Guimarães, and Vieira do Minho are all a 30 minutes drive away. Of the more than 50 workshops that existed in the 1960's some 40 are still working today under very similar conditions. Traditionally, almost every family had connections to both agriculture and goldsmithery - the latter increased and decreased in importance to meet the demands of the farming calendar. There are many special events during the year, for example, the festival of Saint Elói (December, 1st), or the yearly gathering at the Carreirós communal threshing ground for the symbolic cleaning of the oil lamps.
