Valença Fortress

 It's funny that I had already visited Valença several times, but only this time I realized that there was a part of the fortification that I hadn't visited yet!

On the way back we stopped in Valença to visit and have lunch




Tomb of Dom Vasco Marinho, Main Church of Monção

 We visited the main church in the morning, just before we leave. This tomb really stands out.



Monção Hot Springs

 For a change, the weather was great and we were able to explore the city a little.

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...
