Portela da Fairra Wolf Trap

Outeiro

It consists of a stone-walled enclosure where a live goat was placed to lure wolves. Built around a large rock outcrop, the enclosure made it difficult for the trapped animal to escape. It is one of the largest wolf traps in the Iberian Peninsula, dating from the 18th century and remaining in use until the 20th century.
