Walking around
by micas_pt
Walk, that is the best way to know Ponte de Lima. Cross the bridge to the other side and spend some time on the park you'll find there. On your way back to Ponte de Lima admire the river, the surrounding mountains and the city seen from the bridge. Go to the square (Largo de Camões) and from there walk through the streets and admire the architecture, notice the people, visit the churches or go inside some of the still remaining "old times" shops. Enjoy yourself there - it is a fabulous village.
Bravães: Igreja de São Salvador
by tim76
This small church is from the 12th century and is considered one of Portugal's best Romanesque churches. Especially noteworthy is the western portal. The arches are decorated with monkeys, pigeons and human figures. The tympanum is decorated with two worshipping angels, carrying Christ in Majesty in a mandorla. The columns are sculptured as well, one recognizes two humans and a great variety of animals. The portal is carried out in a rather crude style, but full of imagination.
Opening hours: 8 - 19 (but we found the church closed)
Directions: N203 in the direction of Ponte da Barca. About 10 km from Ponte de Lima.
