Viana do Castelo is a land of traditions and is home to the country's largest pilgrimage - Romaria Srª D'Agonia. It is home to endless natural beauties and a sea center that enhances nautical sports and brings together high-performance centers such as rowing, sailing, surfing and kayaking. She is an inspiring musician of many songs - Fado Havemos de ir a Viana from Amália Rodrigues - and elevates to the maximum exponent the term "to live with quality of life".

Its proximity to two strategic airports - Porto and Vigo; the availability of three business parks and an industrial zone; the bet on technological development and entrepreneurship, the existence of a commercial port, are some of the attractiveness of our region.
