Outeiro Seco has served as a local administrative centre in Portugal’s Trás-os-Montes region since the 13th century. The former town was the seat of its own municipality until 1853; today it is a parish of Chaves, in the upper Tâmega valley near the Spanish border. Its setting is shaped by cultivated land and the rounded hills of Portugal’s northern interior, far from the Atlantic coast. Chaves is the area’s main historical reference point: Roman Aquae Flaviae developed around thermal springs, and the town’s Roman bridge still crosses the Tâmega.
