Surf’s Up in Northern Portugal, Dude!

Sea, river, lagoon, brook, swimming pool, water park or spa — the city of Porto and the North of Portugal offer a refreshing variety of destinations for those who would rather splash than just watch from the shore.

Just look at what you can do:

• Board, body and kite surfing along the region’s gorgeous Atlantic coast.

• Canyoning in Peneda-Gerês National Park, Portugal’s first and so far only national park.

• Soaking in thermal spas in Caldelas, Santo Tirso, São Pedro do Sul, and other ancient towns.

• Canoeing and kayaking along the Douro, the longest river on the Iberian Peninsula.

• Whitewater rafting on the Rio Paiva, the Rio Tâmega or the Rio Minho.

All of this with the range of quality eating and sleeping choices that complement the wave of water experiences in Porto and the North of Portugal.
