Coastal Boardwalk of Viana do Castelo

Highlight • Trail

Viana do Castelo is on the Portuguese part of the Way of St. James. We had a very good meal at the Adego do Padrinho. Very interesting decoration and a very friendly host. The "Praça da República" and the Santuário de Sta. Luzia are worth seeing.
