Ponte de Lima Bridge

On the way back we stopped in Ponte de Lima to eat the amazing "arroz de sarrabulho"




Gerês Fauna

We had the chance to see some of these animals on the sides of the road




Lindoso Castle

The last stop and my son's favorite was in Lindoso, where we visited the castle




Soajo Granaries

The second stop was in Soajo, where we had lunch and then we visited the "espigueiros"




Sistelo

Sistelo has gained great popularity in the last few years, especially among hikers




Sistelo

I was expecting a lot more green but I guess that to see a green like in the postcard I should have gone in the spring...




Sistelo

We were not very long at Sistelo because it was extremely crowded, which is not good during a pandemic crisis




Sistelo

My wife joined us for the weekend and we went to see the surroundings. Sistelo was the first stop






Arcos de Valdevez - Statue of The Battle of Valdevez

The highest point was horse riding. For me it was the first time, my son was almost an expert




Arcos de Valdevez - Paço da Giela

This we only saw from afar




Arcos de Valdevez Pillory and City Hall

Luckily there are nice monuments that are worth seeing even only from the outside




Arcos de Valdevez - Nossa Senhora da Lapa Church

I usually like to visit the interior of the churches, cathedrals, chapels, but because of the pandemic situation the world is living we didn't go inside of any of the monuments of the city 




Arcos de Valdevez Pillory

It was a very nice father and son experience and we get to know the city quite well




Arcos de Valdevez Old Bridge

 I spent recently four days with my son in Arcos de Valdevez
