View from Forte do Cão

Highlight • Historical Site

From the old fortress ruin are only the outer walls and a few remains of the inner walls. But you can climb up to the "roof" and enjoy the beautiful view of the sea.

Coastal Boardwalk of Viana do Castelo

Highlight • Trail

Viana do Castelo is on the Portuguese part of the Way of St. James. We had a very good meal at the Adego do Padrinho. Very interesting decoration and a very friendly host. The "Praça da República" and the Santuário de Sta. Luzia are worth seeing.

Nice for relaxing. A little less crowded than Praia do Carreço and a lot less crowded than Praia do Afife.

Areosa Coastal Windmills

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Beautifully walkable, level path, partly with wooden footbridges. The number of towers on the coast is reminiscent of the "Beacons of Gondor".
