Entre Douro e Vouga (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˌẽtɾɨ ˌðoɾu i ˈvoɣɐ]) was a former NUTS3 Portuguese subregion. It was abolished at the January 2015 NUTS 3 revision.[1] It is now part of Metropolitan Area of Porto - NUTS3, integrated in the NUTS2 Norte Region. Its name stood for the fact that it covered an area between the Douro River and Vouga River. It was bordered in the north by Grande Porto Subregion and Tâmega Subregion and in the south by the Centro Region (Baixo Vouga and Dão-Lafões).
