About this Pousada
Overview
Pousada Valença do Minho is set within the historic fortified area of Valença, close to Portugal’s northern border with Spain. The setting is defined by defensive walls, elevated views over the River Minho and the neighboring Spanish town of Tui. Guest rooms offer modern comforts, while the bar and lounge provide places to unwind after exploring the fortress.
Valença is a rewarding stop for travelers interested in frontier history and the relationship between northern Portugal and Galicia.
