Minho is Portugal's greenest and most traditional province and also the country's best-kept secret. The Alto Minho is the true call of the former Portugal, rich and hoary, with magnificent views over green landscapes, with long geological and historical tradition. It is the true experience of Portuguese typicalities - their festivals, their artcraft and its rich gastronomy. We pay a visit to the beautiful coastal town of Viana do Castelo, which owns one of the most important shipyards. Ponte de Lima, of Roman origin, is assumed as the oldest Portuguese village, and probably one of the most enchanting. Barcelos, capital of the artcraft, still marks the pinnacle of ‘pituresco’ with the famous legend of the rooster and the weekly antique fair held on Thursdays.
