Towns and Villages

Located in a very mountainous and densely forested region, the municipality of Vieira do Minho is an ideal place to spend one's leisure moments, with the lakes formed by the dams of Caniçada and Ermal being extraordinarily beautiful. Scattered all over the region are a number of small villages that still maintain their long-standing and typically rural customs.

In the first weekend of October, the town comes alive with the holding of its Feira da Ladra, a huge flea market at which everything is sold, with the special highlights being the typical regional handicraft, such as copper ware, basketwork and woven articles.
