Lovely Portuguese town just the other side of the Spanish border. After the bridge across the river Mino the road is all cobbled but ridable on a road bike. The town is peaceful and full of green spaces cafes and a good Lidl supermarket for ride re-fuelling.

Access to this Portuguese village from Tui is made by crossing the International Bridge. One of the main attractions of Valença is its fortress, a defensive construction against the attacks that came through the Miño. Every Wednesday a massive fair takes place within its walls.
