Holiday Rentals in Mortagua - A Guide to Mortagua
In the far south-western corner of Viseu district is the municipality of Mortagua. As is the case in many of the southern and central Viseu municipalities, Mortagua holiday rentals are not very abundant, most people heading for the stunning Duoro valley to the north.
Mortagua does have its attractions however and features extensive vineyards producing arguably Portugal’s best wine grape Touriga Nacional, rivalling the famous Vinho Verde.
From a Mortagua holiday rental you will be well placed to explore the attractive towns and villages of the area. The moors have left their influence in the architecture and in several place names such as Almacinha and Almaça. Surely the proliferation of gardens and fountains which make Portuguese towns and cities so attractive, owe their origins to the early moorish inhabitants.
