Pousada Mosteiro de Amares

Pousada Mosteiro de Amares

The rural province of Minho in northwestern Portugal is one of the most traditional regions of Portugal. It is home to the two oldest cities: Guimarães, the 1st capital, and Braga, the country's main religious center. It was here that Afonso Henriques proclaimed himself the country's first king. The valleys produce the characteristic "vinhos verdes" or "green wines," an example of the typical rural economy. Besides the strong alternation between rugged mountains and charming villages, you will be amazed by the exceptional hospitality inherent in this region....
