A walkable wine-country town in northern Portugal, Vila Real sits on a plateau above the gorges of the Corgo and Cabril rivers, with the Alvão and Marão mountains rising to the northwest and southwest. Its historic centre is thick with manor houses bearing noble coats of arms — a legacy of the powerful Marquis of Vila Real in the 16th and 17th centuries — alongside historic churches and a food-and-drink scene concentrated in the old quarter.
