The Fraga da Pena is a rocky outcrop used as a landscape lookout on Caminho da Pena in Aldeias, parish of Aldeias, municipality of Armamar. The municipality lists it among the municipality's viewpoints and links it with the settlement of Tões.

On the place, the parish monograph for Aldeias says that archaeological remains were found at Chãs, Fraga da Pena, attributed, without credible classification, to the ancient Roman city of Laconimurgun. The same source recalls that Aldeias grew from the neighbouring settlements of Aldeia de Cima and Aldeia de Baixo and lives mainly from farming: wine, potatoes and fruit.

The Fraga da Pena is about 2.5 km in a straight line from the centre of Armamar. Drive along local roads and continue on foot along Caminho da Pena. No facilities are documented, so be prepared for rocky ground.
