The old Friestas Railway Station, once a stop on the Minho Line, has not received trains for over 40 years. Opened on 15 June 1913, it connected Valença to Lapela and was once served by trains between Porto - São Bento and Lapela. Today, all that remains is the memory of a time when the tracks still told stories of travel.
