Located in the northern most part of Portugal, the beauty of the countryside scenery rich in an almost unique fauna and flora, make this a magical place. This region, in the Minho River Valley, has a microclimate marked by the transition from an Atlantic to a Continental climate. Hot, dry summers with cool nights and cold humid winters.
