Valença
do Douro
Valença do Douro is located on the high bank of the
Douro River in the northern extremity of the
Concelho. It extends across high slopes that rush at
Douro River, providing fascinating landscapes. A
visit through these lands is always worth it. The
vineyards are planted in schist, surrounded by trees
on ledges, blossoming in a carpet of white flowers
during the end of winter season.

Pelourinho de Valença |
In the center of the old village, a Pillory still
stands, close to the old Town Hall. We would like to
also highlight the "Rabelos”. |
Rabelos |
| |
“Grupo de Bombos de Valença", cheer up the streets
whenever there is a party, marching with their
colorful costumes to the beat of war. |
|
The modern Mother Church is situated at the town
entrance. The churchyard is a spectacular belvedere
upon the Douro River.
