Exploring Portugal. Charming, as well.
It is 10 km south of the Spanish border and 22 km south of Verín (Spain).
So almost in Spain.
Romans built this bridge over the Tãmega river.
Check all further details in Wikipedia:
Of course, there is a historical tower, used to be a big castle.
Next door the "charming" part of the town.
A detail.
The real charming thingies: the magnolias. So lovely.
Vanity.
Unfortunately we visited this town on a Monday, museum was closed.
Check for some good pics in here:
Behind some very thick walls ... there is hidden a cool hotel!
Next door neighbours the "charming" locals.
Behind some historical sights again.
These similarly painted electrical boxes already charmed me
three years ago in Porto. Nice day.
Modern life.
Bye bye roman bridge, welcome sun!
Next stop: Vila Real.
I kind of doubt it that we'll visit the Cultural Capital 2027.
This is also culture, isn't it? Colours of Portugal.
In Vila Real there is also a very modern museum hidden between
a graveyard and ... city limits.
This is really charming.
And this again the Portuguese charm.
Decoration in surprising corners.
Those boxes. Cool, just cool, not charming.
Vila Real definitely is preparing for the cultural year 2027,
Building sites everywhere.
is the capital and largest city of the Vila Real District, in the North region.
It is also the seat of the Douro intermunicipal community and of the
Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro historical province. (Wikipedia)
