Small town in northern Portugal's Vila Real District, Ribeira de Pena sits in transition country between the mountainous Trás-os-Montes and the greener Minho, with the Tâmega River running through the municipality and vineyards producing the region's vinho verde nearby. The town centre has cafés, restaurants, and an above-average concentration of historic churches for its size. Prehistoric stone engravings at Lamelas, dolmens, and the ruins of a fortified settlement at Monte do Cabriz add archaeological depth to the surrounding area.
