Monção
Wine-country town on the southern bank of the Minho River, where Portugal meets Spain, Monção pairs a walkable centre with a dense food-and-drink scene and scenic views across the water toward the Spanish town of Salvaterra de Miño. The two towns together form a cross-border Eurocity, with mountains close by adding to the surrounding landscape.
