Linha do Minho is a railway line which connects the stations of Porto-São Bento and Valença, in Portugal. It was opened on 6 August 1882, when it reached Valença. The section from Valença to Monção was opened on 15 July 1915 and closed on 31 December 1989.^[1]^[2] From its Valença terminal, there is a rail connection to Tui just across the Spanish border; RENFE operates through trains between Vigo and Porto-Campanhã.
