Caminha, Portugal
Between the River and the Sea, a Place of Timeless Beauty

A picturesque village in the north of Portugal, Caminha is a true treasure where time seems to slow down. Its stone streets, lively squares, and historic buildings tell stories from centuries past. At the heart of the town, the Clock Tower and the Main Church stand guard over the Terreiro Square a favorite gathering place for locals and visitors alike.

But it’s in the surrounding landscape that Caminha reveals its full magic the majestic Minho River embraces the town before merging with the Atlantic Ocean, and across its calm waters lies neighboring Spain, in a perfect harmony of cultures separated only by a river.

Between the sound of seagulls, the scent of the sea, and the charm of the distant mountains, Caminha is the perfect place to experience the simple and authentic beauty of the Minho region. 🌊🇵🇹

Part 2
900 years of history and Limian tradition

Celebrating nine centuries of existence, Ponte de Lima remains faithful to its origins a town of markets, hospitality, and encounters. Since the charter granted by D. Teresa in 1125, it has stood as a guardian of Minho culture and Portuguese identity.

From the lively Feiras Novas festival and traditional markets, to the International Garden Festival, equestrian parades, and serene walks along the riverfront, the town thrives with color and life.

The unmistakable flavor of Arroz de Sarrabulho à Moda de Ponte de Lima and the aroma of local Vinho Verde complete the experience, a perfect blend of history, nature, and taste.

Among the stones of the bridge, the reflections of the river, and the flowers in bloom, you can still feel the heartbeat of a history that has endured for over 900 years.

✨ Ponte de Lima
Where Portugal began, and time still flows gently.

Part 1
Ponte de Lima, the oldest town in Portugal

Nestled on the banks of the Lima River, in the heart of the Minho region, lies Ponte de Lima, the oldest town in Portugal, officially founded in 1125, even before the country itself was born.

Its name comes from the ancient Roman and medieval bridge that still stands proudly today, connecting both shores and centuries of history.

Walking through Ponte de Lima feels like stepping into a living museum: medieval towers, centuries-old churches, manor houses, and cobblestone streets where time seems to pause. Every corner tells a story; every stone holds the memory of pilgrims, traders, and travelers who once crossed its path.

🌿 Surrounded by rolling green hills, Loureiro vineyards, and fertile fields, the town preserves its rural soul and the charm of Minho traditions. It’s a place where heritage, nature, and authenticity exist in perfect harmony.

📍 Ponte de Lima founded over 900 years ago, a living witness to the birth of Portugal.

Bom Jesus of Braga
Where faith meets the sky

Amid the gentle mist of Minho mornings and the golden light of dusk, rises the Bom Jesus do Monte, one of Portugal’s most beautiful baroque masterpieces.
Its monumental staircase seems to ascend not only the hill, but the spirit itself step by step, toward serenity. Each level tells a story: of water that purifies, virtues that uplift, and faith that guides.

At the summit, the Sanctuary, crowned by its twin towers and framed by geometric gardens, welcomes those who reach the top with a silence that speaks louder than words.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019, Bom Jesus is not merely stone and art it is movement, pilgrimage, and contemplation.
A place where the human touches the divine, and every step becomes a prayer.
