Amarante was a really pleasant surprise. After the big hitting Ponte de Lima and Coimbra, this little town is really charming. Lots of winding laneways, cobblestone roads, quaint bridge, cake shops, handmade chocolates and more restaurants than you can poke a stick at. Up the hill from the bridge is the monastery and church of Saint Goncalo who is the patron saint of lovers in these parts. It’s not very big but had very detailed ornamentation of the central alter and various chapels. Sit down for a little while, reflect on life’s little joys, say a prayer for your friends and family and anyone in need of spiritual support. A peaceful place for reflection.
