Why take this tour?

Medieval land and pure nature bathed in the best national wine. Come and lose yourself in the cobblestone streets, explore the historic center without maps and meet this friendly people who welcome their visitors so well. Amidst chapels and churches, discover traditional taverns and grocery stores that enchant you from the start. Discover the legend of the river Lima, which is associated with the word Lethes, oblivion. The story goes that in 135 BC, the Roman legions reached the left bank of a river. The beauty of this place convinced the soldiers that they were facing the mythical “River of Oblivion”, whose crossing would erase all memory. Afraid of losing their memory, the soldiers refused to cross the river. Decimus Iunius Brutus, commander of the legion, crossed the river to the right bank and, without hesitation, called the soldiers by name to prove that the memory was intact. The Bridge that gives the village its name How could it be otherwise, I couldn't come to Ponte de Lima without visiting the medieval bridge.
