Mosteiro de São Bento da Vitória
Monastery
👍👍 We've had a mix of audio and live English guide. Audio was very limited and poor. But the live guide was very knowledgeable, passionate and with great sense of humour. It was an interesting experience and reflective space. Partly thanks to conversation around well-endowed mermaids on monks' benches...

Mosteiro de São Salvador de Paço de Sousa
Monastery
👍👍 Em plena rota do românico, perto de Penafiel e das termas de São Vicente, o Mosteiro é de uma enorme beleza: a sua solidez enquanto "massa" arquitectónica (e escultórica), contrasta com a delicadeza da cantaria esculpida com grande rigor e refinamento. A envolvente é igualmente bonita, com árvores f...
