Barbeita Bridge - Mouro River - Monção - Portugal The bridge over the Mouro River is located in Ponte de Mouro, connecting Barbeita to Ceivães over the Mouro River, in Monção. It is known that a bridge existed at this location at least as early as 1386. It was here that, in that year, the historic meeting between King John I and the Duke of Lancaster, pretender to the throne of Castile, took place. The marriage of the Portuguese king to Philippa of Lancaster, the duke's daughter, was also arranged. The old bridge visible today underwent renovations in 1627.

Beautiful little church

bridge on the tea river route

Section of eco-road very close to the Miño River, in a fairly good state of conservation and which allows you to avoid traffic.

A highlight that should not be missed on any visit to the region!

Located in the historic centre of Valença, the Church of Santo Estevão was built in the 13th century. It was the seat of the old Gothic-Mudejar Episcopal collegiate church from the 15th century. It consists of three naves and a rectangular chancel arranged longitudinally, with stepped roofs with one and two slopes. The bodies are attached to the north and south. The tower is attached to the south.

Connecting Valença to Monção, the Ecopista do Rio Minho follows the course of the Minho River, using the old railway line. It was opened in 2004 and is approximately 13 kilometres long, and was later extended to 17 kilometres. You can now follow the track until you reach the International Bridge that connects Monção to Salvaterra. The route is almost entirely flat and is easy to follow on any type of bike.

Friestas station/stop was part of the Minho Line railway section that closed in 1990. In 2004, this railway section was converted into an eco-track, now known as the Dão Eco-track.
