Amarante Hostels - Hostel List for Amarante, Portugal

Amarante is a beautiful town on the river Tamega, a tributary of the Douro. The best way to get there is by taking the Wye Valley line from Porto and changing on to the branch line at LivracAo [dont blink or you might miss it!] You can enjoy sitting by the river for a picnic lunch and watching the innumerable yellow wagtails and women washing long carpets in the river and stretching them out to dry. An interesting monument in Amarante is the Bridge on the River TAmega, built on the XIII century. An other historical monument of notable interest is the convent of SAo Goncalo, tied up to an historical popular tradition: on the first Saturday of June takes location a pilgrimage in honour of the Saint, patron of the fiancEs .During the party the fiancEs give one another some typical sweetmeat as a present. In the old times the girls went to beg the Saint to find them a husband! Actually they do it now too!
