Located between the spa town of Gerês, the traditional village of Lindoso and the beautiful old village of Ponte de Lima, you are ideally situated to enjoy the quaint communities as well as the slow pace of life of rural Portugal. The town of Braga, the capital of the district, is about 40 minutes away and hosts many relics of the region’s diverse history. Minho is a fantastic, mostly rural region on the northernmost Atlantic tip of Portugal, bordering the Spanish region of Galicia, with which it shares many attributes. Minho is perhaps most famous as the home of the Vinho Verde, a crisp, dry white wine (although as the name suggests, it is, in fact, green!) best enjoyed with a local fish dish. Very lovely, and very affordable. Minho is particularly special as it features the country’s only National Park, the Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês, which is just half an hour from Casa Ligia, with around 72,000 ha of land. It is a mountainous nature reserve that includes prehistoric remains, walking trails, rugged hills as well as deer, wolves and golden eagles! Portugal itself is a small, fascinating country at the most Western point of mainland Europe. The capital, Lisbon, is known for its lively nightlife, with endless bars and clubs full of fun-loving locals and tourists alike, but also has plenty of fascinating history (check out Belém, jam-packed with monuments!) and undulating terrain, famously termed the ‘city of the seven hills’. From Lisbon, it is very quick to travel by the domestic high-speed train line to the city of Braga, which will connect you reasonably quickly to Casa Ligia. With a vast coastline with the mighty Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is a real paradise for the keen surfer, or indeed even those looking to try it for the first time. And for those less keen on surfing, the beaches of Portugal are still well worth a visit for their beautifully clear waters and beautiful sands.

There are several beautiful beaches within easy reach of Caminha, including Praia de Moledo and Foz do Minho. At either beach you can take a short boat ride out to the Ínsua Fortress that’s situated on a small rocky island just off the coast. Its origins are as a 15th century-convent, but during later centuries it was transformed into a defence post for protecting the local area from invasions by sea. These beaches are great for a range of activities, whether it’s the sea or river you prefer. Calm estuary waters are best for kayaking and canoeing, with windsurfing and regular surfing being particularly good on the ocean due to the strong winds and waves. The pine forests are lovely to walk through and allow you to see the more rugged side of the area.

Viana do Castelo's maritime heritage can be explored at its shipyards and at the Museu do Traje, which showcases traditional clothing worn by local fishermen and their families. The Gil Eannes Hospital Ship, once a lifeline for Portugal's cod fishing fleets in Newfoundland and Greenland, has been restored to its former glory and now serves as a fascinating museum.
