Serra da Estrela

Reviewed By Vinetou - Ljubljana, Slovenia

Travelling from Porto to the South across Serra da Estrela was a good decision. Plenty of nice views. Many attractions on the way (water reservoirs, RAMSAR protected area, charming glacier valley, ski area etc.). More on the pictures.

Fortified Village Almeida

Reviewed By boski - Island of Malta, Malta

This place is stunning, amazing how when you go over the border from Spain to Portugal suddenly there are toilets and infrastructure and businesses are open – wow fancy that Spain ???? Almeida is amazing lovely town, history everywhere you look, the fort is unreal we walked for hours into every nook and cranny, in the town square they were making their famous Portuguese chicken, how perfect is that. The museum in town is fantastic worth a visit well set up and loads to see.

Praia Fluvial de Loriga

I went there in the morning to take some photos, beautiful place with clear and clean water. Went past later in the afternoon, and very full. No surprise as it was extremely hot. Next time I will try to go for a swim.
