Beautiful balconies

When i wandered around the town, I was impressed with the beautiful wooden balconies, I found similar balconies in Tenerife Island ? Spain ( maybe it has some influence of Spain because Chaves is a town near the border of Spain).

Termas de Chaves

ncfg 544 reviews

The Termas of Chaves (Thermal springs) are located a few minutes from the city centre by foot. It seems that is one of the hottest springs in Europe. That water attracts both tourists and people seeking the treatment of rheumatism, kidney dysfunction and hypertension. The Water bubbles up at a temperature of 73ºC (163º F).

It seems that the Misericórdia Church is worthy of a visit, unfortunately i didn't have time to go inside, but i could admire its Baroque facade style.
I had read that it has an exquisite interior lined with 18th century azulejos (glazed tiles).

Every old town has its Pillory or Pelourinho in portuguese, and usually located in central areas almost ever in front of the City Hall or Municipal Council.
This one is beautiful, isn't it?

 Chaves is a beautiful town located in the Transmontana region (interior northern of Portugal). I went there twice, but the first time was a long time ago and it was at night. This year I returned...
