Hiking

The place was of great importance until 1985, because here was the border station with Spain of the Porto - Salamanca railway line. The Douro is navigable up to this point.

Hiking

A small town in Portugal right on the border with Spain. You can cross the border on foot. This is where the river cruise ships dock on the Duero.
