Framed by the Bornes and Passos mountain ranges, Mirandela stretches across a vast, fertile plain, approximately 225 meters above sea level. The proximity of the Tuela and Rabagão rivers, along with its privileged geography, means that most of the working population works in agriculture. Today, the city is a peaceful but very pleasant place, where a stroll along the restored banks of the Tua River, passing by the floating pier and the Romanesque bridge with its twenty distinct arches, is recommended. To end the day on a high note, visit one of its restaurants and sample the famous "alheiras" (a type of sausage) or the Mirandesa steak!
