Amarante
Interesting
On the slope of a hill by the Tâmega, Amarante is a charming and picturesque small town, whose old houses have wooden balconies and wrought-iron grilles. Well-known for its pastries and its vinho verde, the town comes to life each year on the first Saturday in June with the festival of its patron saint, São Gonçalo, who is known for promoting marriage and fertility.
