Come discover Amarante and let yourself be enveloped by the stories, traditions and flavors that the city has to offer you. Meet and let yourself be enveloped by this passionate filled history city. History that begins in the age of the stone, happening through the presence of the Roman Impero and enormously marked by the presence of S. Gonçalo and the French troops during the French invasions II. The city itself has a religious image, perhaps for its monumental convent of S. Gonçalo bathed by the bucolic Tâmega River or its majestic baroque churches and its beautiful and magnificent S. Gonçalo bridge.

The discovery of great personalities such as Amadeu de Souza-Cardoso, Teixeira de Pascoaes or António do Lago Cerqueira is equally irrefutable.

Discover Amarante with a local inhabitant who will not only be a guide but also a friend to present your house!
