Alcobaça Monastery, Room of the Kings

 After the monastery we visited the Talking Machines Museum, a museum with 443 radios, 125 telephones, 287 microphones, 1104 vinyl records and 42 phonographs.

We didn't leave without trying the magnificent local convent pastry

Vista Alegre, Ílhavo

 Early this year I was at Vista Alegre, a 200-year-old porcelain factory, but this postcard was sent by Paula from the most recent Postcrossing meeting.




Salzedas Monastery, Artwork by Grão Vasco

 We also visited the Salzedas Monastery, which is also magnificent. There were only postcards of this type, in this case, two illustrations of works by Grão Vasco that can be seen in the monastery.




Ucanha Tower and Bridge

 The main reason that took me to Ucanha was this tower. I think it's very beautiful. But I also really enjoyed the region’s wine!




Ucanha Pillory

 Last May we spent a weekend in Leomil, Moimenta da Beira and we went to the sweet rice fair in Vila da Rua. On the way back we stopped in Ucanha, Tarouca.




Santa Maria Street, Guimarães

 Last month I went to the Guimarães medieval fair for the first time and bought this postcard.
