The Miño, Galicia’s largest river, is not only a waterway but also a cultural and economic symbol that unites Spain and Portugal. The Miño River, which begins in the Serra de Meira and ends in the Atlantic, is known as the raia húmida, the aquatic border between Galicia and Portugal. Although it serves as a geographical boundary, the river is more than a border, as it has forged a territory with common characteristics and traditions. It is a space for coexistence and cultural, economic and linguistic exchange that has created a unique way of life. The route begins at the Frieira reservoir, and encompasses eight Galician and five Portuguese municipalities, all with their own landscapes, culture, history and personality. This region shared a common identity long before the Miño became a border, as evidenced by the numerous rock carvings found on both banks of the river. Political and military history has also left its mark, with independence from Portugal and the resulting struggles marking the region with towers and fortresses. However, despite the political differences, the raia humida has maintained intense relations, with a shared economy and a shared imagination. This is reflected in the fisheries for lamprey fishing, the shared cultivation of grapes for wine and the common history of emigration and smuggling. Today, trade between Galicians and Portuguese is more intense than ever, although the true shared identity lies in the common traditions, beliefs and language. In short, the raia humida is a territory of coexistence and encounter rather than a geographical division.
