As we approached Ponte de Lima, we couldn't help but notice the contrast between the old and the new. The walk along the River Lima before you get into town is quite pleasant. Just below the auto bridge, you encounter how the shallow rock falls on the right side of the river have been turned into a tribute to modern art. In the distance, the medieval bridge built around 1368 on Roman foundations highlights the antiquity of Portugal's "oldest" town. Our stay that night was at a very modest private pension (30€) the Beiro Rio directly above a pizza restaurant that offered from our room one of the best views in town of the old bridge. And, FYI, the pizza was delicious!
