Autumn arrives, and a cool breeze carries with it the scent of earth and burning wood. It is in this season of transition, when the days grow shorter and the nights draw near, that the tales of the Brothers Grimm come most vividly to life: dark forests, hidden castles, and mysterious paths. Today, as guests pass through the gates of Malhadinha, they step into a world where imagination blends with reality, and every shadow seems to tell a story of witches, princesses, and cunning wolves.
