Soalheiro

Soalheiro is the first Alvarinho brand in Melgaço (the northern point of Portugal) and one of the first portuguese producers of Alvarinho. Here, the Alvarinho is special, the region is protected by a range of mountains that create the perfect conditions of rainfall, temperature and number of hours of sunshine needed to the better ripeness of the Alvarinho grapes. We hope that you also love the vibrant and elegant style of our passionate wines.

Outstanding example of medieval bridge with Roman beginnings. It's made to connect both sides of the river by walking and doing that is a joy with impressive views all around.

Espigueiros de Soajo

Reviewed By M2018K - Pilsen, Czech Republic

Old granaries of Soajo are situated on the edge of the village. There is a free entrance (October 2020) and free camper parking place with toilettes only 50 m away. We saw many similar granaries in the nature of other locations but those in Soajo are well kept and you can admire many of them in one peaceful place. There are interesting paths around the village as well, we walked only 1 hour around: we saw old mills, old stony roads, nice houses and all this surrounded by vineyards. Really amazing place!

Santuario de Santa Luzia

Reviewed By Soggy63 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

A few years ago my wife and I walked through Viana do Castelo, whilst walking the Camino Portuguese and I saw Santuario de Santa Luzia on the hill but didn’t have time to visit. Last week we were back in Viana do Castelo and decided to visit and were not disappointed. Due to it being such a hot day we decided to make the journey up and down via the funicular railway, which itself is impressive. Santuario de Santa Luzia is a fantastic dome roofed church with beautiful paintings on the ceiling. The building is both impressive inside and out. From the steps the views over Viana do Castelo and the Atlantic Ocean as amazingly. Santuario de Santa Luzia is definitely worth a visit.

Igreja da Misericordia

Reviewed By Crossgates1

Recommended by our wonderful hotel (Casa Manuel Espregueira e Oliveira), it looks like just another 18 Century refaced building which you can see pretty much anywhere in Portugal. But go inside, and it is something special: I am not religious but my word, the sheer beauty and peace of the building held my attention for way longer than I would ever have imagined. As others have said, it’s just €1 as an entry fee: at €3 it would still have been astonishing value. They should reprice, and release even more money to protect this amazing space.

Santuario de Nossa Senhora da Peneda

Reviewed By hans-jaguar - Santa Comba Dao, Portugal

The sanctuary of “Nossa Senhora da Peneda” is dedicated to The Virgin Maria, Mother of Jesus. You can find this location when driving from Lindoso to Gaviera on the national road. You have two possibilities to visit the sanctuary, when you see it from the road, you have a small road on your left, who leads you to a Hugh parking possibility, first option. The second option is that you are continue on the main road until you arrive on a “T” junction, here you turn left and are arriving at the sanctuary, here you have allot less of place to park the car. The inconvenience of the first option is that you will have to walk along the Hugh staircase with some interruptions and about 160 stairs before arriving at the feet of the sanctuary. For the people who had enough of the walk, they can take the elevator at the right side of the staircase at the foot of the sanctuary. Enter in the elevator and put a piece of 50€ cent and push on the 3th level, so you will arrive on top and in front of the sanctuary, who is really need to see. It has being built at the end of the 18th and the 3th part into the 19th century. The Sanctuary is also integrated into the “Parque Nacional de Peneda e Gerês” and is about 150 km. From the city of Porto and on about 51km of the village of Arcos de Valdevez.
