Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro
This article is about the Portuguese historical province. For the Capeverdean village see
Trãs os Montes Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (
pron. ) is a historical province of
Portugal located in the northeastern corner of the country. Presently the region is divided into two districts on the right (northern) bank of the
Douro River —
Vila Real and
Bragança, which are part of the
Norte region—, with 5 other municipalities on the south bank of the Douro River included in the districts of
Viseu and
Guarda, which are part of the
Centro region. The name—Beyond-the-Mountains and Upper Douro—refers to the location on the "other" (eastern) side of such mountains as Marão, Alvão and Gerês, which separate the coast from the interior, and along the upper valley of the
Douro River. This isolation kept the province poor and underpopulated for centuries, causing many people to emigrate to the coast or to other European countries such as
France,
Luxembourg or
Switzerland.

province (ou région) portugaise, formellement instituée par une réforme adminstrative en
1936. Toutefois, les provinces n'ont jamais eu une quelconque attribution pratique, et ont disparu du vocabulaire administratif (bien qu'encore présentes dans le vocabulaire quotidien des portugais) avec l'entrée en vigueur de la
Constitution portugaise de
1976.
