Vilar Formoso

Portugal's main land border crossing with Spain sits at Vilar Formoso, a small town in the Almeida municipality whose railway station is lined with azulejo tile murals depicting scenes from across Portugal, including a rare skiing scene. The station once served the Lisbon–Hendaye express. The town straddles the Tourões stream and sits within the Douro river basin, close to mountain terrain, with a café and restaurant scene that reflects its role as a busy transit hub.
