Ponte de Lima is a quaint journey back in time, brimming with fascinating historical tales waiting to be explored and unveiled. Its petite historical town center proudly displays its Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical origins through the architectural designs of its houses. Two of the citadel’s original towers remain untouched, accentuating its historical charm. Moreover, the Roman/Medieval bridge has become a landmark for all the followers of the Camino de Santiago who traverse the Lima River towards the cathedral from this point.
In the northern region of Portugal exists one of the most scenic cities, Viana do Castelo. As the capital of the district and stationed in Alto Minho, this sophisticated city stands out for its long-established association with Shipbuilding, a tradition dating back to the golden age of maritime explorations in the 16th century. The city’s vibrant festive costumes in tribute to Nossa Senhora da Agonia, characterized by prevalent red and extravagant display of gold on the chest, add to its unique allure. The city’s significant religious and working heritage coincides with its reputation for having one of the finest living conditions in the country.
