Towns and Villages

Standing on the banks of the River Douro, which has always exerted such a distinctive influence on the surrounding landscape, the town of Armamar still has a peaceful feel to it.

Here, in a region where farming is the predominant activity, wines of the finest quality are produced, together with some of the country's tastiest apples.

Armamar's Romanesque parish church, built in the thirteenth century, is a particularly impressive monument.
