Moinho de Vento (Miradouro da Penide) rewards wind-swept landscapes over the Douro/Minho hills with big-sky vistas and classic mill silhouettes. Best light is sunrise for soft gold and sunset for dramatic contrast; go on clear weekdays to avoid mist. Parking is roadside; access is short but expect uneven ground and breezy weather.
