Trás-os-Montes (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˌtɾaz uʒ ˈmõtɨʃ] Mirandese: Trás-ls-Muntes [ˌtɾaz̺ (ə)ɫs̺ ˈmũtəs̺] is a geographical, historical and cultural region of Portugal. Portuguese for "behind the mountains", Trás-os-Montes is located northeast of the country in an upland area, landlocked by the Douro and Tâmega rivers to south and west and by the Spanish communities of Galicia and Castile and León to the north and east.
This relative isolation has led to the survival of cultural traditions that mark the Portuguese identity. On the other hand, its relative continentality also contributed to the lack of development, which led its inhabitants to seek better conditions on the coast or emigrate to Brazil and to other European countries such as France, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
