Cais da Senhora da Cabeça

Cais da Senhora da Cabeça is a small pier and landing point on the River Minho in Cristelo Covo, part of the municipality of Valença in northern Portugal, close to the Spanish border. The site has recently been upgraded by the Valença municipality, which rebuilt the boat access ramp, extended the floating pontoon at the landing stage, and improved the access paths.

The new floating pontoon allows fishing boats, leisure craft, tourist boats, kayaks and canoes to moor. No information is available on VHF channel, depth, number of guest berths, or mooring fees.

Right next to the landing stage is a public recreational area with tables, barbecue spots, parking, a drinking water point, toilet, a bar, and waste bins.

Within walking distance you'll find the Santuário da Senhora da Cabeça, the Ecopista do Rio Minho cycling and walking path along the river, and the Fortaleza de Valença. Stop by and experience this peaceful spot on the River Minho, where nature, tradition and water come together.
