Packed with history, with an active nightlife and truly spectacular views of river, ocean and mountains, Caminha is the gem of the Alto Minho region. The town sits on the River Minho, which marks the border with Spain, and it's just a short ferry crossing into Galicia to explore the very different coastline. The beautiful central 'praça' is only 1km away, and the beaches are even closer. There are many fantastic restaurants, and all the amenities you need for your holiday. Caminha is also served by rail from Porto and Vigo (in Spain), and is close to motorways making access to many more historic cities quick and easy (like Porto, Braga, Guimarães and Valença), as well as the wild rugged hills just a few kilometers inland and Portugal's only National Park, just 50km away. With Porto, Santiago de Compostel and Vigo airports within easy reach, this is also a great spot for a short off-season break. Esteiró is hidden away in heavily wooded gardens between town and beach.
