Tourism of Galicia is hosting the Press Trip Visit Rio Minho Plus 2026 from 12 to 15 November, aimed at showcasing the tourist, scenic, cultural, and gastronomic resources of the cross-border area shared by Galicia and Portugal. This initiative features six content creators who specialise in travel, tourism, and experiences, who will share the attractions of this destination through their digital platforms.
The trip aims to connect the audience of these professionals with the identity of the destination, highlighting its landscapes, traditions, gastronomy, and wine culture, while deepening the relationships between the two territories and the role of the Portuguese Way (Camino Portugués) in the region.
The itinerary explores various aspects of the identity of the cross-border area, beginning with the history and cultural ties between the banks of the Miño through visits to significant sites, such as the historic centre of Tui and the fortress of Valença. The river, as a unifying element of the territory, also features prominently in the activities, allowing participants to understand its influence on the landscape, economic activities, and local traditions, particularly in wine culture.
The programme also includes an exploration of rural areas, natural and heritage resources, and the commercial traditions of the region, as well as firsthand experiences and stories from the people who enliven the territory, along with the productive activities that help maintain the shared identity of Galicia and Portugal.
The Visit Rio Minho Plus project is part of a series of tourism promotion actions funded by the European Union, aimed at enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of the tourism sector in the cross-border region of the River Miño, promoting cooperation between the territories of Galicia and Portugal and highlighting shared resources as attractions for visitors.
