Penameda rises in Portuguese territory as one of the mountains within the Peneda-Gerês National Park, the natural continuation of the Baixa Limia–Serra do Xurés Natural Park. Its granite terrain and gentler contours contrast with the steep slopes of nearby peaks, creating a landscape characteristic of the mountains of northern Portugal.
From the viewpoint, visitors can appreciate the continuity of the protected landscape on both sides of the border. These mountains support a rich diversity of habitats and provide an exceptional setting for observing birds of prey and other species associated with mountain environments.
Penameda symbolises the close connection between Galicia and Portugal, two territories united by a shared natural heritage of outstanding value.
