Ponte Medieval de Paderne

Reviewed By Lesterbeach - Winnipeg, Canada

The road to the picnic site along the river has been closed so you now have to park under the freeway bridge just before the road up to the castle. The river was very high and some areas of the path were under water. About a 5 min walk from parking to the picnic table and then about 15 min to the bridge. Lots of wildflowers and info charts.

Muralha do Castelo

Very little of the old town castle (Al-buhera) remains; this section of wall is a reminder.
