For one month, several organizations joined to reveal the potential within the Tua Valley. The natural landscape, the river, as well as regional products, radical and water sports that are possible to enhance. On each Saturday of May we have taken recovering works of the line, walk along it, discussed the economic potential of this region, made degustations of wine, olive oils and other local products, we have watched movies, and we went down the river to say NO to the dam.

We are united to Save the Tua and Protect the Douro. May, month for the Tua is a joint organization of the following entities:
