Almeida is another town built inside a star shaped fortification, we have seen quite a few now across Europe and they all follow the same design of numerous defences against attack, some have a moat all the way around.
It was only a few hundred metres from the aire to the fort and we set off in what has been another day of glorious sunshine. Inside the fortified walls is a normal town with residential buildings and a few commercial outlets, bars etc.




Of course it wouldn’t be normal if we didn’t include a refreshment photo.
