The village of Melgaço belongs to the district of Viana do Castelo and has Spain right next door. It has a valuable historical heritage with traces since prehistory and the beauty of the natural landscape is sublime, were not Melgaço integrated in the Peneda-Gerês National Park.

The rivers (Minho, Laboreiro, Varziela), fishing, adventure sports, mountains, historic villages are just some of Melgaço points of interest that make this land a unique discovery.

Melgaço is one of the best nature destinations of our Portugal. There is clearly a shared effort by the municipality and its residents to give Melgaço the visibility it deserves. And we can say that this effort is paying off. Melgaço is Portugal's Most Radical Nature Destination.

However, it is the people the heart and soul that make Melgaço an unmissable destination. Simple and sincere people with a commitment and passion for their land and traditions that leave us unarmed. They preserve their regional customs and customs, regain almost forgotten traditions of memory and bring them to life by adding to Melgaço this wealth of ethnographic values. "A kind of rare eco-museum."
