MAIN TRAIL -
Percurso Lamas-Peneda


NAME OF INTEREST - Veins

CONCEPT - Geological Heritage


Along the route it is usual to find veins or veinlets that intruded the Gerês’ granite.
These magmatic masses, when installed in the fissures and faults, tend to acquire a table-like shape, and varied dimensions (veinlets can be only some millimetres or centimetres thick whilst veins can be several metres thick) and orientations. These can be constituted by a single mass or stockwork.
