The Alto Minho region is known for its natural beauty and is often referred to as the real Portugal. The area encompasses vineyards,
gentle river valleys, forests and
woodlands, all interspersed with rural villages and small holdings which are
the fundemental way of life for its people. Toursim and industry have brought prosperity to many of its towns but they still retain the charm and rural essence of old Portugal.
Portugals only national park the Peneda-Geres is just a short distance away, it's ideal for hiking and other outdoor activities and is just one of the many areas waiting to be explored. The Costa Verde or Green
Coast has wonderful beaches many of which
