Location:

The Friestas Picnic Park is located in the locality of Friestas, within the municipality of Valença. Situated in the Barreiras area, the park benefits from a unique location on the banks of the Minho River. This proximity to the river gives it a characteristic fluvial environment, framed by the region's riverside landscape.

Fluvial and Sandy Area Characteristics:

An integral part of Minho's natural environment, the park is defined by the presence of a vast sandy area. During milder weather months, this space invites relaxation and sunbathing, providing ample room to enjoy contact with the river. The size of this sandy area allows for a relaxed experience by the water.

Reference Point for River Activities:

Given its strategic position by the watercourse, the park has established itself as a reference point for various activities that take place on the Minho River. Over time, it has been recognized as a starting point for initiatives that explore the dynamics of the river, consolidating itself as a meeting point for those seeking direct contact with the aquatic environment.

Social and Leisure Space:

The name “Parque de Merendas” (Picnic Park) reflects its design as a space dedicated to outdoor leisure and social interaction. The present infrastructure is suitable for picnics and moments of tranquility, offering a natural and welcoming setting to enjoy with family or friends.
