Descending the Côa Valley, the crossing today takes place near the river beach, where once there was a ferry. This ancient crossing point, used since ancient times, has left traces of its past: ceramics, coins, and Roman remains still bear witness to the place's long history.

Not a safe crossing. Perhaps ok in summer but we went in April, the water was deep and the rapids were strong and knocked me off my feet.
