The Costa Verde is a newly invented name for the coast of the northwest of Portugal, the Minho, and its hinterland (do not confuse with the Costa Verdes in Mexico and Costa Rica and, to make it more confusing, the term is occasionally used for the whole north coast of Spain). As the name suggests, it is a lush area, with some fabulous beaches and wonderful places to visit nearby.

Alto Minho
The site of the Alto Minho Tourist Board. Sloppy HTML aside, it is quite fine, and the linguistic slips actually make it more interesting. Don't you feel there is room in the dictionary for a word like "monumentualy?"

The Costa Verde - from Virtual Portugal
The Costa Verde with a good long list of the fascinating places to be visited therefrom - Barcelos, Braga, Bragança, Chaves... More descriptions of the actual coast and its gorgeous (if often sodden) beaches would be welcome, but that is carping.

Porto and the North of Portugal
The north of Portugal by Discover Portugal, briefly covering both the Douro and Minho.

VerdeMinho
Some attractive 360º photos from a company selling a CD-ROM. You probably know the routine - use the mouse to move around and zoom in and out with the Shift and Ctrl keys.

Hotels
Hotel Club
This booking service covers a very wide range of places in both Spain and Portugal.

Venere.com
An on-line booking service with great discounts.

Car Hire
Auto Europe
Car rental, motor homes, minibuses... And an interesting short-term lease option.
