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 Well-known for its pastries, originally made by nuns, the town comes to life on the first Saturday in June each year with the festival of its patron saint, São Gonçalo, who is known for promoting marriage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