Where the Minho river meets the Atlantic, Moledo lays a broad Atlantic sand backed by pine hills and the baroque church on Ínsua islet offshore — the north coast’s classic beach, with the Spanish Galician coast visible across the river mouth and waves that fill the local surf schools from spring to autumn.
