A Pousada in a small 18th century walled town
This
Pousada is in the centre of Vila Nova de Cerveira which is a small walled
town built by the order of the King Diniz in 1400.
It is on the banks of the river Minho which forms the northern border between Portugal and Spain.
A recently built bridge enables guests to take a visit to the Spanish region of Galicia which has many interesting places to visit.
There is the city of Vigo, the sailing town of Bayona, the beaches of the nature reserve of the Iles de Cies or the pilgrimage city of Santiago do Compostela.
Opportunity should be taken to sample the food which, like the language,
changes completely as the river is crossed.
Vila Nova de Cerveira is famous for its Biennial Fine Arts Festival
held in August and September.
This festival has resulted in a number of interesting sculptures in the town.
Near the Pousada, in a small garden, is a sculpture of a rock being held up by a tripod which has become the symbol of the Arts Festival.
A former manor house in the town, Solar dos Castros, has a striking statue of a group of men which won the first prize in the competition a few years ago.
In 1942 the old town was restored and the buildings, including the chapel, became the Pousada.
For this restoration and the concept, the scheme was awarded the
coveted 'Europa Nostra' architectural prize.
Some of the rooms and suites have their own courtyards and it is all
contained within the old walls giving the impression of a small medieval
citadel.
The restaurant at the Pousada has superb views over the river Minho and its beautiful valley and the mountains of Galicia in the background,
The Pousada has 26 standard rooms and 3 superior suites, some with balcony.
The bedrooms all have private bathroom, air conditioning, telephone, Cable television, mini-bar and hair dryer.
The Pousada is air conditioned but does not have a swimming pool nor a lift.
Nearby in Vila Nova de Cerveira there is a new indoor community heated swimming pool.
