Portugal Holiday - 2018 May 9 - 22
Porto - May 16

From Pocinho we took a short bus ride to the Pre-history Museum of the Coa River. The museum documents the rock carvings found in the Coa Valley. The carvings were found at the time a dam was in process of being built. A change in govenment resulted in the cancellation of the dam and preservtion of the carvings. Now almost 1400 rock carving sites have been found.

Samples of tools used at the time the rock carvings were made.
