Casa da Pirolita

A cluster of small, hidden bays, coves, and cliffs hosts numerous climbing sectors featuring quality routes—mostly trad, with some sport climbing—stretching from the southern Espinhaço region down to Baía das Caixas. Most of these routes were developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s by a dedicated group of enthusiasts. Special recognition goes to Paulo Roxo, who established over half of the existing routes, alongside notable climbers such as João Dinis, Ricardo Quintas, Victor Viana, Vasco Candeias, Yolanda Sanfont, Manuel Valério, and Francisco Ataíde. In recent years, climbers like Nuno Pinheiro, Daniela Teixeira, Filipe Costa e Silva, and João Gaspar have expanded the area with many new routes.
