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.
