Tâmega e Sousa subregion, Administrative region in northern Portugal.

The Tâmega e Sousa region encompasses 11 municipalities across 1,831 square kilometers, with the Tâmega and Sousa rivers flowing through its valleys and hills.

Established in 2009, this region merged territories from four former districts - Aveiro, Braga, Porto, and Viseu - into a unified administrative division.

The region maintains strong manufacturing traditions, particularly in furniture production, with numerous workshops and factories spread throughout its municipalities.

Penafiel serves as the administrative center for the region, which connects to Porto through multiple transportation routes and regional highways.
