Marginal de Seixas

Panorâmica do Rio Minho
- heritage
Mata do Camarido
4910, Caminha
From the bridge over the Coura River to the mouth of the Minho River, you can enjoy the stunning river scenery. At low tide, the Minho River practically disappears, revealing the hulls of fishing boats. At high tide, the river reflects the verdant Spanish side in its waters. Those driving along the EN13 can appreciate the scenery, but only on foot can you truly experience the immersive landscape.
Centro da Vila de Caminha
- heritage
Praça Conselheiro Silva Torres
4910, Caminha
Caminha's historic area is extremely picturesque, blending historical/medieval elements with tourist attractions. The Chafariz do Terreiro (1517) in the center, the Town Hall (16th century), and the Clock Tower (a medieval monument from the town's former defensive wall) are the calling cards of this historic town. The hubbub of Galician tourists who fill the surrounding café terraces livens up the city center.
