The Coura river flows to the Minho river just before it gets to the sea, in Caminha. The Camaredo Pine Woods stretch the landscape to Moledo do Minho. A special note to Vilar de Mouros, on the northwest side of the mountain and the Spanish locations of La Guardia and the Santa Tecla Hill as well. The …

As one ascends to the top of one of the watchtowers in the north side of the Valença Fortress, one faces one of the most astounding landscapes in the Minho region. The river, in the background, separates the green landscapes of Portugal and Galicia. The international bridge connets the river banks. Further ahead, the houses in Tuy paint the landscape in white dots.

In the beginning of the XX century began a remodelling of the landscape of the Frente Marítima (maritime front), which included the repair of the so called Estrada de Carreiros (at present Avenida de Montevideu). Such repair was concluded in 1914 and included, namely, the azulejos (tiles) covering of the concrete benches spread through the gardens. All this area has been the object of a recent urban intervention, which aims to revitalise this zone, that has always been a walking leisure place.

Placed at the Palácio de Cristal gardens, it is installed in a small granite tower, offering a dazzling view of the Douro sides.
