Melgaço and Monsoon. An unmissable trip to the 2 most authentic villages in Portugal
Tour info
Why take this tour?
Melgaço is located in the Alto Minho region, right there on the border between Portugal and Spain. Neighboring Galicia, Melgaço developed around the castle built in the 12th century by D. Afonso Henriques. This village is famous for its landscapes and history, but also for being the birthplace of one of the most important varieties of green wine — Alvarinho. And for those looking for nature, this is the perfect destination. It is important to remember that Melgaço is part of the only national park in the country, the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Did you know that Melgaço is still a land known for the legends of witches, fantastic creatures, princesses and much more? Discover the legend of Inês Negra and learn some stories about the history of Portugal. A little jump to Monsoon Separated from Melgaço by just 24 kilometers, we have this village overlooking the river Minho. Land of terraces and viewpoints, here the peace of nature is a constant. If you close your eyes, you can imagine these battles.
