Trás-os-Montes Guided Tour

At 9 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Verín to cross the border with Portugal and set off for Alto Tâmega, one of the areas that makes up the beautiful Trás-os-Montes region.

First, we'll visit the village of Montalegre and its impressive 12th century fortress. We'll also visit the Ecomuseum of Montalegre, where we'll discover the history and heritage of this beautiful Portuguese municipality. 

Another of the towns we'll visit is Boticas, where you'll fall in love with its stone houses and charming streets! Here we'll visit the Rural Museum, where we'll learn about the agricultural past of Boticas, seeing the traditional utensils that are still preserved. We'll give you one hour of free time so that you can have lunch, and then we'll continue with the tour.

The next stop will be Vila Pouca de Aguiar, where we'll walk through the Parque das Pedras Salgadas, a forest of stones whose shapes and sizes will surprise you. Then we'll go to Valpaços and visit its Wine Museum to learn about the wine tradition of the area.

Finally, we'll visit the town of Chaves, where we'll admire its imposing medieval castle, declared a National Monument and witness to the wars between the Portuguese and the Spanish. We'll also cross the Roman bridge of Trajano and, of course, see the thermal baths of Chaves.

We'll end the tour by dropping you back off at your hotel at 5 pm.
