Thoroughly impressive complex run by the Benedictine monks from 1041 to 1834, when all the religious orders in Portugal were dissolved. From the original Romanesque church only the front portal survives, the rest was reconstructed and expanded many times during the Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical periods. Perhaps the most surprising element is the incomplete cloister accessible by stepping through the door to the right of the church. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/monastery-of-saint-mary-of-pombeiro/

The imposing Gothic Revival structure overlooking the Vizela river and the Thermal Park on its opposite bank was commissioned in 1905 by a local politician, businessman and physician, dr Armindo Ribeiro de Faria to serve as the new town hall. But those plans fell through and instead it housed a private club, then a school and later even a wine warehouse. Abandoned and crumbling, in 2008 the Castle was bought by the local council or Câmara Municipal. Unfortunately its fortunes didn't exactly reverse because of the lack of funds. Worse still, in 2020 it was badly damaged by a fire. However there seems to be some hope on the horizon with a new plan of restoration adopted by the Câmara in March 2021.

Large parts of the bike lane pavement are falling into a dangerously bad state. Whoever laid the asphalt didn't notice that the road passes through a forest. So the roots are doing their work. If you go at 35-40 km/h and you don't have suspension, be careful and keep your hands firmly on the steering wheel.

Excellent track for a fast and traffic-free crossing between Guimarães and Fafe, with a slight slope.

Woow - This monastery is of extraordinary beauty.

This cycle track around Guimaraes is in development and I will follow this evolution. Already, this part was fun to ride.
