Read MoreTâmega Ecotrail
39 kilometers, with a smooth surface and little slope, to be covered on foot, with or without walking aids, on skates or by bicycle, those that make up the Tâmega Ecotrail, designed on the old Tâmega Valley Railway, deactivated in 1990.
It connects Amarante to the parish of Arco de Baúlhe, in Cabeceiras de Basto, also passing through Celorico de Basto and, along the way, allows you to visit Minho villages, see vineyards, different trees, deactivated stations and monuments. All of this, with a view of the Tâmega valley, and the river, which emerges in certain sections. It culminates at the Arco de Baúlhe Railway Museum.

Amarante City
Amarante would be just the ticket. On the banks of the Tâmega River, a gorgeous bow-shaped bridge connecting its two halves, the town – north-east of Porto – is a maze of cobbled streets and quiet cafes that ask nothing of you other than to wander at will. I’d probably visit some of my favourite haunts: the medieval São Gonçalo church, the Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso art museum next door, the ruined Solar dos Magalhães manor house.
