==Background== Anha is located south of Viana do Castelo, 4 km from the left bank of Lima River. The Faro mountain protects it from the North winds and it spreads over a valley of fertile land, crossed by the Anha stream, which debouches into the Atlantic Ocean. It is surrounded by Darque, to the north, Mazarefes and Vila Fria, to the east and Chafé, to the south.
