#Castelo #castle #Guimaraes #Portugal #History

O Castelo de Guimarães começou por um mosteiro mandado construir por Mumadona Dias no século X, antes, portanto, da formação de Portugal. Como os ataques dos mouros eram frequentes decidiram construir uma muralha para proteger a comunidade e os monges que viviam no seu interior. Foi esta fortaleza que deu origem ao Castelo de Guimarães. Mais tarde, no século XII, foi neste castelo que nasceu Dom Afonso Henriques que viria a ser o primeiro rei de Portugal. Com a falta de uso o castelo foi-se degradando. Recentemente foi recuperado e classificado como Monumento Nacional. É também considerado Patrimônio Mundial pela UNESCO. Um lugar cheio de história e que foi berço de Portugal. Não é à toa que em um pedaço da muralha original tem os dizeres “Aqui nasceu Portugal”.

The Castle of Guimarães began with a monastery built by Mumadona Dias in the 10th century, before, therefore, the formation of Portugal. As the attacks of the Moors were frequent they decided to build a wall to protect the community and the monks that lived inside. It was this fort that gave origin to the Castle of Guimarães. Later, in the twelfth century, it was in this castle that Dom Afonso Henriques was born. Some years after he would become the first king of Portugal. With the lack of use the castle was degrading. Recently it was recovered and classified as National Monument. It is also considered World Heritage by UNESCO. A place full of history and that was cradle of Portugal. It is no wonder that in a piece of the original wall has the words "Here was born Portugal".

Villa "Our Dream Villas" with Sea View, Pool, Garden, Terrace, Balcony & Wi-Fi

Apulia

"This is a lovely place for a stay by the coast 30/40 km north of Porto. The house is ideal for a holiday - well equipped, clean and with a pool - the sea was fairly cold so having a pool was a 'must' especially if you have children. There are lots of excellent seafood restaurants nearby and a lovely sandy beach (less than 10 minutes wak) - and the nearby town of Apulia is 20 minutes walk - you don't need to hire a car - the host Rui Miguel was very helpfull in arranging transport for our...

"La maison est vraiment incroyable dans le lieu d'une ancienne carrière de pierre. Le propriétaire Antonio a été très accueillant. Nous étions les premiers locataires et il restait des éléments à mettre en place comme le lave linge ou le lave vaisselle, mais l'annonce avait été transparente sur ces sujets. Nous recommandons et nous reviendrons pour voir l'évolution de ce lieu magique!!!"

"Pros: Não temos nada a apontar relativamente à nossa estadia. O senhor Valdemar foi fantástico em termos da sua clareza de comunicação, bem como os cuidados que teve para nos fazer sentir em casa (p.e. reparamos que uma torradeira estava avariada e trouxe-nos uma nova no próprio dia - nem era necessário). A casa tem condições excecionais. Bem equipada (AC, eletrodomésticos, utensílios, lazer) e recheada de uma forma como nunca tinhamos visto, quase nem foi preciso comprar nada. A piscina...

Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel

"Good breakfast. Hotel room is kept in good condition. Ventillation system is great. Underground Parking was easy and close to the lifts. "

Stay Hotel Porto Aeroporto

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night since it was about 10-15 walk to the airport. Good clean hotel. Quiet. All the amenities including a mini balcony to get some fresh air. One thing I couldn’t work was the TV but they have working WiFi so no bother. Breakfast was continental nothing special for the price but cheaper than airport breakfast. The hotel is good but nothing around except the airport. A couple of restaurants sparsely located near by. Good for a night or so. "
