 This was the only postcard I bought on the top of the mountain




Nossa Senhora do Ar Chapel, Torre, Serra da Estrela

 We didn't find snow, but I didn't want to either




Torre, Serra da Estrela

 I always said that if I went to Serra da Estrela one day, it would be in the summer, and so it was.




Guarda Cathedral

The "must see" in Guarda is obviously the cathedral

My family and I recently spent a lovely week in Guarda, where Martinha hosted us on a guided tour of the city.

Kaysersberg

 I bought this postcard in Colmar. I didn't use to buy postcards from places I haven't been, but since I started collecting UNESCO sites I changed strategy, because we never know what is going to be in the UNESCO list next year!




Isenheim Altarpiece, Unterlinden Museum, Colmar

 Unfortunately, we didn't visit this museum




St Martin's Church, Colmar

 The hardest thing in Colmar was to choose postcards. I usually don't keep that many postcards to myself, but it is really hard to choose the best when they are all great!




St Martin's Church, Colmar

St Martin's Church, Colmar

 The St Martin's Church is one of the main sights of Colmar
