North

The Northern region of Portugal offers an incredibly beautiful contrast to the Algarve. Here the vegetation is abundant and green year round and since most of its towns and villages are of medieval origin (at least!) if cultural architectonic landmarks is what you are looking for, you won’t be disappointed!

Let’s not forget to mention a very special treat for the connoisseurs:  this region is also well known for its wines and gastronomy, home to the ‘Vinho Verde’ as well as to the world-famous Port wine. Find one of the many old “Quintas” and wineries where you can have tastes of the different qualities of wines, learn its special characteristics and much more.

The coastal road will take you on a wonderful trip through spectacular landscapes, rivers, waterfalls and a magical feel throughout. Away from mass tourism and big crowds, this is a region still to be discovered.

From nature trails, to enchanting cities, delicious gastronomy, wines of excellent quality and a charming population, famous for their hospitality… There is always more than one reason to visit the North of Portugal.
