At the highest point in the municipality of Viana do Castelo, Our Lady of Minho stands guard over the mountains. In the cave, an image carved in stone wears Minho attire, as if blessing the immense landscape. From here, the view reaches the municipalities of Paredes de Coura, Ponte de Lima and Viana do Castelo, the Lima valley and, in the distance, the infinite grandeur of the Atlantic.
