Caminha Fortress City

The city of Caminha is located in Portugal, at the mouth of the river Migno, in the district of Viana do Castelo. In ancient times, Kaminya was a border fortress. Now it is a small port city, from which there is a regular ferry to Spain.

On the square of the Councilor Silva Torres, which is the central square of the city, there is a symbol of the city of Kaminya - the Clock Tower (Torre do Rel&oacute gio), built in the XII century as part of the city fortifications. Walking through the square, you can see the magnificent fountain of the Renaissance. Of the attractions in the city, you should also pay attention to the Solar dos Pitas mansion, built in the XV century, the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, which has the status of a monument to the architectural heritage of Portugal.

Every year, the so-called Medieval Fair is held in Kaminya, which is a theatrical art festival that attracts the interest of many tourists and residents of the entire region.

In the park of Camarido, the confluence of the river Migno into the Atlantic Ocean, you can relax on the municipal beach Praia do Camarido, consisting of two parts, ocean and river. Also in Kaminya all conditions for water sports are created.

Caminha is one of the most favorite holiday destinations for Portuguese and tourists.
