Almeida

Thursday 10th April 2025

Tucked up in a lovely free aire.

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.

A beer and a glass of wine was €2.40.
