THE ENVIRONMENT
The house is in Alto Miño, between Ponte de Lima and Arcos de Valdevez: the green north of Portugal, of granite and vinho verde, with the Peneda-Gerês National Park a stone's throw away.
Nearby, by car:
• Ponte de Lima, the oldest town in Portugal, with its Roman bridge: 15-20 minutes
• Arcos de Valdevez and the Vez River: 15 minutes
• Peneda-Gerês National Park, with trails and waterfalls: 30-45 minutes
• Viana do Castelo and the beaches of the Minho: 35-40 minutes
• Braga and Bom Jesus: 45 minutes
• Valença and the border with Galicia: 40 minutes
• Santiago de Compostela: around 1 hour 30 minutes
• Porto: about an hour
In the surrounding villages there are shops, cafes and restaurants serving food Homemade: sarrabulho rice, kid goat, and local Vinho Verde. It's a rural area: silence, greenery, and truly dark nights.
HOW TO MOVE
By car (recommended): the house is about 60 minutes from Porto via the A3 and A27, 40 minutes from Viana do Castelo, and 15-20 minutes from Ponte de Lima. There is parking on the property.
A car is practically essential: it is a rural area and public transport between villages is scarce.
By bus: regular lines between Ponte de Lima, Arcos de Valdevez, Viana do Castelo and Braga.
By train: the nearest station is Viana do Castelo (about 40 minutes by car), on the Minho line.
Airports: Porto (Francisco Sá Carneiro) around one hour; Santiago de Compostela, 1 hour 30 minutes. Remember that Portugal is in a different time zone: one hour behind mainland Spain.
