Vieira do Minho is located in one of the most beautiful areas in Portugal. It is a small town surrounded by smaller villages that have only recently begun to enter the modern age. There are lively weekly markets to shop for local handicrafts, an ancient Roman bridge and a unique chapel built under a boulder.  HotelTravel.com travellers interested in an idyllic, rural experience would enjoy the long nature walks on offer and evenings spent sipping one of the locally-produced wine such as vinho verde.
