MEETING HISTORY
MINE IS LAND, RIVER AND SEA. PORTUGAL STARTS HERE:
AND HERE HE WAS BORN, IN A CRADLE LEAFED IN GREEN.
Even today it is the Minho Land of conquests, adventures and pleasures, with an unparalleled eagerness to maintain a characteristic of a territory always desired by so many peoples who, before nationality and coming from various points, settled here.
A sign of this appetite are the heritage testimonies that bump into us in each new place. In front of them all, the impressive castles and important fortresses, facing the sea and the interior.
Built by men, they complement the natural defenses of a region surrounded by the blue of the extensive sea, powerful rivers and calm reservoirs, between towering rugged mountains: the Peneda, Soajo and Gerês mountains.
MINHO IS HISTORICALLY PROPHETIC AND ACTIVE.
Under the persistent spirit of the feelings of its people, an expressive source of temples was built here, still translated into monumental sanctuaries, frequented and alive in the traditions of its people.
With the action of men, the path of its natural history was developed, between the hot sun that cheers you every day and the cool shade that comforts you daily.
Its sunny houses confirm this, establishing the parallel between the balance of natural conditions and the work and experiences of those who live here.
