Flanked by lush-green pine forests, Esposende is an old fishing village with some fine old buildings and airy town squares. Boasting an idyllic setting on the estuary of the River Cávado, some 40 km north of Oporto, it's a popular resort town for the people of Northern Portugal, who take full advantage of the area's excellent bathing conditions during the summer months. Archaeological diggings around Espinho have revealed the remains of a Roman city and necropolis. Worth seeing also are the ruins of the 18th-century fortress, while the town's parish church of the Misericórdia was built in the 16th century. The chapel of Our Lord of the Navigators has impressive ornate paintings and gilt carvings. Nearby Ofir on the south bank of the Cávado features an expanse of golden, sandy beach, ideal for bathing, surfing and windsurfing. Just south of Ofir and dating back to Roman times, the sleepy village of Fão is close to the old Roman camp of Belinho and the ruins of Banho Monastery.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Minho & Costa Verde, Portugal

Golf Course inside the resort: This is a nine hole course whose gentle design nevertheless demands some alert game strategy. The course starts off in a tree covered area until hole number 5, with its fairways cutting through the pine forest. From that point onward, the holes are set in more open landscape, running near the Cavado river. The longest hole is number 3 totalling 339 metres. Other holes also offer impressive sport: notable are hole number 6 (along the river bank), hole number 8 (a dogleg to the right, protected by a lake, where any stroke overshooting the green will end up in the Cavado River) and hole number 9, which stars with a stroke over the river.

Marina: The resort has a Marina with capacity for 80 boats and reveals the beauty of Cavado River.

Tennis Court: Has a tennis course close to the pool so you can play a game and after enjoy the pool.
