Un café-musée qui vaut le coup d'œil. La vue du haut de ce petit village est magnifique !

Local pituresco tal e qual o seu dono. Uma mistura de café/tasca -no bom sentido com personalidade- com uma espécie de museu tradicional de arte popular portuguesa com muitas peças e ditos. Um local a não perder em Provezende.

É preciso entrar aqui para acreditar. São mais de mil peças, criadas pela fértil imaginação do proprietário - algumas brejeiras - que aqui se encontram. O pormenor é incrível. Visitantes, de muitas partes do mundo, também aqui deixam recordações. Encontrar o WC é um exercício da mais pura criatividade e está ali, mesmo à frente dos olhos. Surpresa total e admiração. Parabéns!

Um local de paragem obrigatória em qualquer visita que seja efectuada à região Duriense. Trata-se de um simples café de aldeia que ao longo dos anos foi sendo transformado pelo seu proprietário num Museu com “as coisas” do seu dia-a-dia. Somos de opinião, que com a visita também se delicie bebericando um delicioso copo de vinho fino (não confundir com vinho do Porto) de produção do proprietário do Café o Arado Museu.
