Mata do Camarido

From the bridge on the Coura river to the mouth of the Minho river, the river landscape is astounding. During the low tide, the Minho almost disappears and then shows the vestiges of old fishing boats. During the high tide the river reflects the green Spanish side in its waters. Those who drive along the EN 13 may enjoy the landscape, but the full magic only blooms if one is walking.
