Caminha, Portugal (4K video)

Caminha rests at the meeting point of river and sea, where the Minho flows into the Atlantic beside forested hills and medieval towers. A timeless village where history, landscape, and serenity blend in perfect harmony.

Caminha is a picturesque town in northern Portugal, located where the Minho River meets the Atlantic Ocean, just across from Galicia, Spain. Surrounded by lush green hills and protected by old stone walls, the town is rich in medieval charm — with narrow cobbled streets, a 15th-century clock tower, and quiet squares framed by Renaissance and Manueline architecture.

From above, Caminha reveals a stunning contrast between river, sea, and forest, with sandy beaches stretching north and the vast Serra d’Arga rising inland. The ferry crossing to Galicia, the leafy riverbanks, and the calm rhythm of life give the town a sense of quiet connection — to nature, to history, and to tradition.

Whether you’re watching the tides roll in at Foz do Minho or wandering through centuries-old alleys, Caminha is a place where time seems to pause.
