Vila Praia de Ancora

Few settlements in northern Portugal have a history as closely tied to Atlantic fishing as Vila Praia de Âncora. Set where the Âncora River reaches the Atlantic, this coastal town in the municipality of Caminha is defined by Praia de Âncora, a broad sandy beach, and a small fishing harbour. Its position on the Portuguese Coastal Camino brings walkers through town on their northbound route toward Galicia, adding a pilgrim presence to the summer beach season. The Minho coast shifts quickly from open shore to green countryside, while the Serra de Santa Luzia rises farther south near Viana do Castelo.
