About Caminha and Northern Portugal This area is situated on the Atlantic coastline and is very close to the border with Spain. The culinary experience here is all about the fresh, local seafood, meats, cheeses and vegetables, so tasty from the sun, you will be amazed. Walking around you will experience fig, olive and fruit trees on our property and all around the area. Port and local wines will also be tasted throughout the week, followed by a dip in the villa’s pool for those interested.
