Amarante

Travel Guide

Amarante probably had its origin in the primitive peoples who inhabited the Aboboreira mountain range (inhabited since the Stone Age), although the exact name of its founders is unknown.  However, it only began to gain importance and visibility after the arrival of São Gonçalo (1187-1259), born in Tagilde, Guimarães, who settled here after pilgrimage through Rome and Jerusalem.  To this saint is attributed the construction of the old bridge over the River Tâmega.
Amarante is a Lovely town in Porto district to relax! If you go there Visit "São Gonçalo" church!

Everything about the place is beautiful and deserves a longer stay to enjoy all the amenities. Unfortunately, the town is charming but does not offer much for more than 1 night.
