Tips from the Community
For those of us who are older, it reminds us of what it was like to cross from one country to another, when you might randomly have to open the trunk of your car so that both police forces could check what you were carrying, so that younger people could get their documents, and above all so that everyone can see how beautiful and enriching it is to be able to live in peace between neighboring countries.

Barbeita Bridge - Mouro River - Monção - Portugal The bridge over the Mouro River is located in Ponte de Mouro, connecting Barbeita to Ceivães over the Mouro River, in Monção. It is known that a bridge existed at this location at least as early as 1386. It was here that, in that year, the historic meeting between King John I and the Duke of Lancaster, pretender to the throne of Castile, took place. The marriage of the Portuguese king to Philippa of Lancaster, the duke's daughter, was also arranged. The old bridge visible today underwent renovations in 1627.

The railway section that connected Monção to Valença was deactivated several years ago, suffering progressive degradation due to the lack of use. The Municipalities of Monção and Valença signed protocols with REFER so that, in that section, an Ecopista could be built, intended for cycling and walking. Opened on November 14, 2004, the Ecopista do Rio Minho is a route of more than 20 km, next to the river, which deserves great praise and applause from most people. Along the route, between the historic centers of Monção and Valença, there are plenty of points of interest, making this ecological route the first in Portugal to take advantage of deactivated railway lines.
