Armamar
Armamar rises on the plateau above the Douro and combines lower-lying vineyards with extensive apple orchards. The Romanesque main church is the town's main heritage landmark, while São Domingos and other viewpoints require local travel. Passing along the EN222 should be understood as access to a hillside territory, not just as a break by the river.
