Viana do Castelo

We arrived at the Inatel campsite at Viana do Castelo on the 31st, and the sun came out to greet us.  We sat outside in our deck chairs for the first time in weeks.  The following day we walked over the Eiffel Bridge into the old town centre.



  The Praca da Republica is surrounded by some wonderfully restored 16th Century buildings .  The first being the old town hall and to the left of that the Misericordia.  In the centre of the square is the old fountain which was originally the main drinking water supply. 




 The whole town is overshadowed by Saint Lucia Basilica high on the hill side.
