Travel ideas. The North of Portugal, town fortress Valença do Minho
Subscribe to the channel
Valença is one of the interesting and attractive small Portuguese towns just at the border of Spain.
The most interesting things to visit are mainly inside the fortress that looks down to the Minho River and Spain.
Valença’s fortress is a piece of Gothic and baroque military architecture. The first walls were built in the 13th century.
It attracts a lot of visitors from Spain who come over to Portugal to shop for the wonderful Portuguese linen.
The city walls have been destroyed several times but they have always been restored and still very well preserved.
Along the north wall several old cannons very well maintained are positioned pointing to the river and Spain as if to remind everyone of their old purpose.
Sitting on the wall of the fortress, facing Spain is something special, looking over the town of Tui with the Cathedral of Tui as the highest point that is truly a beautiful view.
In 1879 Portugal and Spain agreed to construct a bi-functional (road and rail) bridge. The bridge was built inspired by Eiffel works. The bridge is still in use although a new bridge was built south of the older one
You can also get some nice traditional Portuguese food in the restaurants in the old town.

10 Things to do in Valencia, Spain Travel Guide Video Transcript: (València)
Continuing our travels through Spain, our next stop was Valencia.
Located along the coast, Spain’s third-largest city is renowned for its mild climate, futuristic constructions and paella.
We’ll spent most of our time in Valencia was mostly spent eating, but when we weren’t restaurant hopping or snacking our way through markets, we were exploring the city on foot and the destination quickly rose to the top.
In this Valencia travel guide we’re going to take you guys on a tour of the city and show you some of the things you can do on your visit.
After lunch we were ready to go sightseeing around Valencia. Our first stop: the Silk Exchange.
We went on a walk around the Old Quarter without much of a plan in mind. We saw some street art browsed through a few shops, and randomly stumbled across the narrowest building in Europe - that’s the terracotta.
Since the tower was closed, we decided to stop by Horchateria Santa Catalina to try a drink that you either love or hate: horchata.
This cold milky-looking drink is made with chufas, better known as tiger nuts in English.
Our next attraction was Valencia Cathedral, which is home to a Holy Chalice that has been defended as the true Holy Grail.
If there’s one dish that we had to try in Valencia, it was paella. Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain's national dish, but Spaniards will tell you this is a regional Valencian dish.
The City of Arts and Sciences, is a cultural and architectural complex that looks quite spacey and futuristic.
The complex itself is made up of various structures including a domed-glass garden that’s filled with palm trees, the planetarium, an interactive science museum, an aquarium, an opera house, and a plaza designed to hold concerts and sporting events and Turia Park.
But paella wasn’t all we had at the restaurant. We also ordered fideuá.
We had a food adventure in Valencia’s Central Market. Although this is primarily a place to buy your fresh fish, vegetables, meat, and fruit, you can also find some stands that sell smaller snacks and traditional Spanish dishes.
To wrap up our trip to Valencia, we’ll leave you with a few nighttime shots of the city washed aglow. We hope you enjoyed this Valencia travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do around the city.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.

Travel ideas: the North of Portugal, Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice
Subscribe to the channel
Located on the shore of the #Atlantic #Ocean, #Aveiro is an industrial city with an important seaport.
The seat of the municipality is the city of Aveiro, comprising the five urban parishes with about 73,003 inhabitants. The city of Aveiro is also the capital of the District of Aveiro, and the largest city in the Baixo Vouga intermunicipal community subregion.
Aveiro is known as The #Portuguese #Venice, due to its system of canals and boats similar to the Italian city of Venice. The people's quality of life is very high.
Aveiro, Portugal, is perhaps one of the country’s most unique and inspiring cities, and yet it remains a “hidden gem” that features on surprisingly few travel itineraries for visitors planning their trip to the western flank of the Iberian Peninsula.
No visit to Aveiro, Portugal, would be complete without taking the time to explore the expansive lagoon and canals that weave their way around and through the city.
There is something about a city set amongst water that adds a certain charm and magic, and Aveiro is no exception. Indeed, Aveiro has been hailed as the Venice of Portugal for its pretty maritime setting.
Aveiro canals criss-cross the centre, radiating from Praça Humberto Delgado in the very heart of the city and stretching out to the Atlantic Ocean waiting beyond. Aveiro canals and the lagoon have been the centre of its industry and economy for hundreds of years, and simply taking the time to wander along their banks is like taking a journey through history.
with a mixture of grand buildings and former fishermen’s houses, the canals are a festival of colour, with brightly coloured paintwork and attractive ‘azulejo’ panels for which Portugal is renowned. However, it is the bobbing fishing boats, or ‘moliceiros’ as they are known locally, which really bring the Aveiro canals to life.
Moliceiros were traditionally used to harvest seaweed, although they are more commonly used these days for tourist activity, and hopping in one to take a tour round the city from the water’s perspective is the perfect way of whiling away an hour or two during your stay.
There are in fact many different styles of boat which are used to navigate the waters surrounding Aveiro, but the moliceiros are the most popular and are best associated with the city.
The moliceiros are shaped long and narrow, with a styled bow and stern which are often highly decorated, with ornate images demonstrating tongue-in-cheek humour about everyday situations. They are usually made of pine and around 15 metres long and some two-and-a-half metres wide, with a covered forecastle. They are propelled by the use of a long stick or, on the narrower canals, via a towpath cable.
The ornate decoration of the moliceiros is at odds with the workaday usage for which they were originally designed. Despite their sumptuous looks, they were once the vessel of choice for harvesting seaweed from the lagoon waters surrounding the city.
The seaweed was the main source of fertiliser for use on the farmland that surrounded the city, ensuring that it played a vital rule in Aveiro’s agricultural economy. The low-edged design was perfect for gathering seaweed and the long, shallow body was ideal for navigating through low waters.
There are many moliceiro tours to choose from, of similar price and quality. Try taking a tour at the end of the day so you can admire the sunset over the waters and leave with lasting good memories of your stay.
Bragança - Portugal
Bragança virtual visit .Os celtas baptizaram a cidade, fundada no século II a.C., com o nome de Brigância, que se foi latinizando até passar a ser Bragança. Este nome é a origem do gentílico mais comum: brigantino.
Na área do actual concelho de Bragança, existia já uma povoação importante ao tempo da ocupação romana. Durante algum tempo, teve a designação de Julióbriga, dada a Brigância pelo imperador Augusto em homenagem a seu tio Júlio César.
Destruída durante as guerras entre cristãos e mouros, encontrava-se em território pertencente ao mosteiro beneditino de Castro de Avelãs quando a adquiriu, por troca, em 1130, Fernão Mendes de Bragança, cunhado de Dom Afonso Henriques. Reconstruída no lugar de Benquerença, Dom Sancho I concedeu-lhe foral em 1187, e libertou-a em 1199 do cerco que lhe impusera Afonso IX de Leão, pondo-lhe, então, definitivamente, o nome de Bragança. O regente Dom Pedro, em 1442, elevou Bragança a cabeça de ducado concedido a seu irmão ilegítimo dom Afonso, 8º conde de Barcelos, que fora genro de Dom Nuno Álvares Pereira.
