São Torcato

A pocket-sized vila near Guimarães in northern Portugal, São Torcato is home to the Santuário de São Torcato, where the relics of the town's patron saint — said by tradition to have remained incorrupt — draw pilgrims and visitors. The surrounding parish, which served as a couto (a privileged ecclesiastical territory) until the early 19th century, sits amid vineyards, with mountains close by and several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
