About Lanhelas
Lanhelas: A Minho River Parish in Portugal's Green North
Lanhelas is a civil parish within the municipality of Caminha, in the Viana do Castelo district of northern Portugal. Positioned in the Alto Minho region, it sits close to the River Minho, which marks the natural border with Galicia, Spain. The surrounding landscape is defined by terraced vineyards producing Vinho Verde, granite village architecture, and river views common to this corner of the Costa Verde.
Where to Stay
Accommodation in Lanhelas is small in scale — rural guesthouses and turismo de habitação properties rather than large hotel blocks. Visitors base here to access Caminha town centre (roughly 5 km), the Moledo beach coastline, and the fortified town of Valença, approximately 20 km to the east. The A28 motorway connects the area to Viana do Castelo (around 30 km south) and Porto (about 95 km).
