Minho River, Natural border river between Galicia, Spain and northern Portugal
The Minho River extends 340 kilometers from Serra do Meira mountains through deep valleys toward the Atlantic Ocean near Caminha.
The river served as a vital transportation route during Roman times, connecting inland settlements to coastal trading posts through its navigable sections.
Local communities along the Minho River maintain traditional fishing practices using small wooden boats and specialized nets passed down through generations.
Multiple hydroelectric dams along the river, including Belesar and Frieira, generate substantial power for both Spanish and Portuguese communities.
The river basin contains specific grape varieties used in Vinho Verde and Ribeiro wine production, growing on both Portuguese and Spanish banks.
