In this tour we'll take you to one of the most picturesque regions of the country, in a scenery marked by the green of the landscapes and the rivers that wind the valleys to the crystalline waters of the ocean. A region with a long historical tradition where you can experience true Portuguese experiences, such as festivities and pilgrimages, its own handicraft and rich gastronomy. Visit Barcelos, a medieval town famous for the popular Barcelos cock and for its ceramic and handicraft fair, and lose yourself in its charming streets lined with baroque houses and discover a vast architectural heritage. Fall in love with the charming village of Ponte de Lima, Portugal's oldest village, renowned for its exquisite green wine production and characterized by its medieval and Renaissance architecture. On this tour you will also visit the beautiful city of Viana do Castelo at the mouth of the river Lima, in a perfect location between the mountain and the sea, once the starting point for ships and caravels during the Discoveries (15th and 16th centuries) to the India and the Americas routes.
