The Costa Verde region
The Miño River Valley (or Ostium Minii as the Romans called it) represents the northernmost border of Portugal and Spain. As such it features fortified towns full of history, vineyards with their own appellations, unique gastronomy and ancient hill forts.
The weather is mild in this northern section of the Iberian Peninsula thanks to the Gulf Stream currents that pass nearby. The area is rather wet and humid in winter but the weather improves considerably from April to October. Temperatures in this warmer part of the year can range from 12 degrees centigrade and 38 with July and August offering the highest.
Valenca area
The house itself is ideal for relaxation. The views from the garden are an ideal backdrop for reading, enjoying the swimming pool and taking in the sun.
The nearby town of Valenca (4km away) contains a well preserved fortress which features excellent shopping opportunities within the fortified walls. There is also an open air market which takes place on Wednesday. Just across the old iron bridge from Valenca is the Spanish border town of Tuy with its beautiful Cathedral.
The nearest beach is just 12 km away in Caminha and runs south through VIana do Castelo almost to Porto where the established Port Merchants can be visited such as Sandeman, Croft, Cockburns etc.
There are many other attractions such as the ancient cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, the Port of Bayona from which one of Christopher Columbus`s ships departed in the late 1400's (see the replica on display) and Gires the famous nearby nature reserve.
