Welcome to Soajo, Portugal
"This site is dedicated to our Soajeiro ancestors and the present-day people of Vila de Soajo. Our hope is to share our village with Soajeiros who are dispersed throughout the world, as well as their families and friends. We also hope to share Soajo's beauty and uniqueness in these pages with travelers and tourists who are interested in visiting our authentic Portuguese village in the Alto Minho region. Thank you for visiting."  Sincerely, Jose M. F. Afonso
