Here you have a beautiful view over the River Minho. Small boats offer the possibility to cross the river and disembark in Galicia. Minho is, in fact, a natural border between Spain and Portugal.

View across the sandy spit at the mouth of the Minha River into the Atlantic ocean, at the border between Portugal and Spain

The view of the mouth of the Minho River, where the river flows into the Atlantic Ocean and forms the natural border between Portugal and Spain, is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Northern Portugal. There are several viewpoints from which this stunning view can be appreciated.
The landscape is marked by the meeting of the river's fresh water with the sea, creating a unique ecosystem and a visibly impressive border line.
