União das Freguesias de Gamil e Midões, Civil parish in Barcelos, Portugal
Gamil e Midões is a civil parish in the Barcelos area of northern Portugal, formed from two former villages that are now unified administratively. The locality consists of agricultural land and residential areas typical of rural northern Portuguese communities.
Gamil and Midões merged into a single parish in 2013 following Portugal's nationwide administrative reorganization. This consolidation reflected broader changes in how local governance structures were reformed across the country.
The population of 1,386 residents maintains traditional Portuguese village practices through regular community gatherings, seasonal festivals, and agricultural activities.
The parish is connected to surrounding areas by local roads and offers basic services for residents and visitors. Getting around requires awareness that this is a dispersed rural community rather than a compact town center.
The territory includes vineyards as part of the Barcelos Wines Route, contributing to local wine production. These vineyards are scattered across the landscape and form part of the region's agricultural heritage.
