In 2017, the Rio Minho Ecopista was considered the 3rd Best Greenway in Europe, and is therefore highly sought after by lovers of walking, cycling and mountain biking. The route already covers almost 50 km of the various infrastructures that make up the so-called Ecovia do Rio Minho. It can start in Caminha or Vila Nova da Cerveira, pass through Valença and end in Monção.

This route is marked by the luxuriant riparian gallery, natural and architectural beauty, in a natural barrier that divides the two Iberian countries. History is present in every glance, dotted with lofty strongholds and old castles, which defended the Lusitânia Homeland from Saracen and Norman assaults and restoration wars.

​

On this route we will visit the following towns, Caminha, Vila Nova da Cerveira, Valença, São Pedro da Torre, Lapela and Monção. We can find many pilgrims on the route of this ecovia, who head with faith to Santiago de Compostela, along the Portuguese Coast Path and cross the mouth of the River Minho by boat, heading to cross the bridge in Valença, towards Tui. Upon arriving in Monção, we found devotees along the Minhoto Ribeiro Path.

​

Although the best times to walk or cycle are always in between (Spring and Autumn), the truth is that there are parts of the path that are well shaded, which allows a certain comfort in relation to the heat. However, it is advisable to take advantage of the coolness of the morning.

​

Grab your bike, invite some friends or family and come and discover this true green "Paradise" in the north of our beautiful Portugal.
