HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE BLOG

By bike through vineyards in Minho's lush landscape.

Welcome Autumn in northern Portugal

Autumn in Minho offers a vibrant display of colours, flavours and scents. As the leaves begin to turn, the landscape transforms into a beautiful autumn canvas; in the vineyards the harvest is in full swing, and along the streets the aroma of roasted chestnuts drifts through the air. 

Stay at beautiful Hotel Fonte Velha in charming Ponte da Barca, just a stone's throw from the river.

When adventure calls

With a landscape offering everything from rapids and waterfalls to sand dunes and rugged mountains, Minho is the perfect adventure destination. We offer a wide range of activities from surf and kite to canyoning and kayak. All experiences are adapted to your skill level and experience. Are you ready?

We all need to slow down from time to time. But what we need in order to feel a sense of calm can differ. Minho is the perfect destination to recharge, regain energy and find inspiration. Life here moves at a gentler pace , the greenery is overwhelming, and the ocean is always just around the corner.
