Mirandela
Compact city in northeastern Portugal with a notably dense café and restaurant scene, Mirandela sits on the Tua River and is known for its cuisine — particularly alheiras, the region's distinctive sausages. The Tua River also hosts a round of the European Jetski Championship each summer. UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region, and mountains are close by.
