"To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and the joy underneath the pain is freedom, salvation, enlightenment."

Ponte de Lima
 |
| Ponte de Lima, (Norte Region) Portugal |
Ponte de Lima refers to 1) the Roman/medieval bridge containing 31 arches that crosses the Lima River and 2) the name given to a town established along this same river in the year 1125.
Ponte de Lima is a small picturesque town set in a countryside full of vineyards where vinho verde (a young wine which is meant to be drunk within a year of bottling) is produced. Also, many 16th century manor houses dot the surrounding area where it is possible to enjoy a peaceful stay. Holding onto tradition and happening since the Middle Ages, an open air market takes place every two weeks on the banks of this river.

The elegant church sitting at the foot of the bridge, Igreja de Santo António da Torre Velha, makes for a beautiful backdrop when gazing across the water.
