Caminha
Caminha is bordered to the north by the Minho River and to the south by Viana do Castelo. From here, the famous ferryboat departs, transporting passengers and some transportation to the other side of the river, in Spain. Its landscape is marked by the hues of the Minho, Coura, and Âncora rivers and the green vegetation, particularly of the Serra d'Arga. This blend is even more characteristic of the beaches (Moledo and Vila Praia de Âncora) which are very popular in the summer. In terms of cuisine, Serra d'Arga-style goat, fried shad, and lamprey rice, cod-based flour, corn cake with sardines, and fisherman's stew are some of the most popular dishes. For sweets, in addition to convent confectionery, Caminhenses and Mocas are recommended. Among the crafts, linen work is renowned.
