La Fortaleza

As I did the Portuguese route on my way to Santiago I was able to come pass by this marvel of strength. More than strength it is a surprise. Of course, nobody expected what was inside unless you already know. We all climbed up to meet with a wall, the surprise was that inside the wall was an entire medieval village full of houses, stately buildings, shops selling everything ... but mostly coffee and towels ... Lovely and beautiful strength, not wasted ...

Medieval fortress that houses one of the most famous markets in northern Portugal. Land of bathrobes and towels. Enjoy a good meal (frango or cod) and do your shopping. You can find everything at a good price.
