Cinfães
Cinfães stretches from the banks of the Douro to Serra de Montemuro. The Romanesque church of Tarouquela, the Bestança valley, Porto Antigo and the viewpoints show different scales of the municipality, so the visit requires detours and time. The EN222 is the scenic axis of the crossing, but it does not place all of these places on the same stretch of road. From Vila Nova de Gaia to Almendra, a long road whose most celebrated section follows vineyards and the river in the Douro.
