OPORTO -AVEIRO - TRAVEL GUIDE | PORTUGAL
Éste es mi último vídeo de esta serie de vídeos sobre Portugal, en este caso visito Oporto y Aveiro. ¡Que lo disfrutéis!
Oporto
Oporto (en portugués Porto Acerca de este sonido [ˈpoɾtu] (?·i)) es la segunda ciudad más importante de Portugal, después de Lisboa. Tenía 237.559 habitantes en el año 2011. Contornan el núcleo central de la ciudad de Oporto, la subregión de Gran Oporto, y de manera más amplia el Área Metropolitana de Oporto, que forma su área metropolitana de 2.459.045 habitantes. Se encuentra en el norte del país, en la ribera derecha del Duero en su desembocadura en el océano Atlántico. Es sede del Distrito de Oporto, en la Región Norte de Portugal.
El municipio de Oporto tiene 15 freguesías (equivalentes a parroquias o barrios). Limita al norte con Matosinhos y Maia, al este con Gondomar, al sur con el río Duero y Vila Nova de Gaia, y al oeste con el Atlántico.
Como muchas ciudades europeas, Oporto es una ciudad antigua que cuenta con un amplio patrimonio histórico, aunque durante las últimas décadas ha sido sometida a una amplia modernización. Cuenta con el metro más largo de Portugal, que cubre no sólo el Centro, sino también zonas de su área metropolitana como Senhora da Hora o Maia. Asimismo, el aeropuerto internacional Sá Carneiro ha sido recientemente ampliado para permitir una capacidad de 16 millones de pasajeros anuales.
Desde muy antiguo hay una rivalidad entre Lisboa y Oporto. Dicen que esta ciudad tiene un cierto aire británico, desde que se asentaron aquí los comerciantes de vino ingleses. Dice el refrán popular que «Lisboa se divierte, Coimbra canta, Braga reza y Oporto trabaja».[cita requerida]
Su centro histórico fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1996.1 Otros atractivos turístico-culturales son la torre de los Clérigos, realizada por Nicolau Nasoni, la Casa da Música y la Fundación Serralves, dedicada al arte contemporáneo, y que es el museo más visitado de Portugal. En el margen sur del río Duero se encuentran las famosas bodegas de vinos, aunque ya no pertenece al término municipal de Oporto sino a Vila Nova de Gaia. Dista de la frontera española con Galicia unos 140 km, que pueden recorrerse por autopista.
Tanto el país como el vino de Oporto deben sus nombres a la ciudad, que a su vez significa «el puerto». Por su pujanza cultural, demográfica e industrial es considerada como la «Capital del Norte» de Portugal
AVEIRO
Aveiro Acerca de este sonido [aˈvejɾu] (?·i) es una ciudad portuguesa, capital del Distrito de Aveiro, en la Región Centro y subregión de Aveiro, situada cerca de 55 km al norte de Coímbra y con cerca de 60 000 habitantes, casi 80 000 considerando las freguesías del extrarradio. La ciudad ha sido frecuentemente denominada La «Venecia de Portugal» por sus canales que atraviesan el centro de la ciudad lo cual dota a la ciudad de una gran belleza, conjuntamente con el barrio viejo de Beira Mar donde se conservan las tradicionales casas y los almacenes de sal de la ría. El aire antiguo de la ciudad se mezcla perfectamente con la modernidad que ha irrumpido por la vida universitaria y hacen de esta ciudad un sitio apetecible en cualquier época del año.
Es sede de un municipio con 199,77 km² de área y 73 335 habitantes (2001), subdividido en catorce freguesías. El municipio limita al norte con el municipio de Murtosa (ya sea a través de la ría de Aveiro, ya sea por tierra), al noreste con Albergaria-a-Velha, al este con Águeda, al sur con Oliveira do Bairro, al sureste con Vagos y con Ílhavo (siendo los límites con este último concelho también terrestres y a través de la ría), y con una franja relativamente estrecha de litoral en el océano Atlántico, al oeste.
Es un municipio territorialmente discontinuo, dado que comprende algunas islas de la ría de Aveiro, y una porción de la península costera de casi 25 km de extensión que cierra la ría por occidente.

European Tour 2019 - France part Deux
We continue our Tour of Europe in our self build Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van. Living in the van full time as we drive down though southwest France on our way to southern Spain and Portugal.
We continue where we left you last at a lovely beach resort called St Georges de Didonne where we parked in a small Aire right next to the lighthouse.
There are 4 motorhome parks in the town and this is the first one we had to pay €10 per night but worth it for the location and scenic promenade walk. The town centre Aire has water and waste facilities.
Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, France -
After leaving St Georges we continue our drive further south in search of the winter sun to an area on the west coast called Le Bassin, a huge body of inland water fed from the sea where we stayed in a nature reserve at a small town called Le Teich.
This was another free parking spot in a beautiful location, surrounding parkland and right next to the marina. The nearby visitor centre had clean toilets and a cafe with free wifi.
Le Teich, France -
From the nature reserve at Le Teich we stop for lunch by the sea at Arcachon there is a beautiful beach and we park the van right next to a carrosel ride on the sea front.
Then just a short drive down the coast to one fo the most amazing places I have seen the Grand Dune of Pyla, the largest sand dune in Europe, they were like mountains.
Steep climb to the top of the dunes gave way to a breathtaking view of the surrounding forest and sea, where paragliders soared effortlessly on the rising thermals.
The Great Dune of Pilat, France -
Next Stop a very high camp on the French / Spanish Border and amazing mountain scenery.

Pluses:
Superb opportunity and value for money that is sadly unappreciated by everybody who complains about some irrelevant, minor details that spoil their snooty 5-star expectations. Thank god this place is a tiny bit rundown, which adds great charm and lets us, who actually can appreciate it, appreciate it affordably! Thank god this place is so full of character and isn't updated and converted to a posh and insanely expensive retreat that only a few could afford! Loved every moment of it - the emptiness in the off-season, the comfort of the room, its outdated yet photogenic furniture, the absolutely scrumptious breakfast. WiFi worked perfectly fine in the room and all public areas and was fast. Baby cot was available. The surrounding park is magnificent.
The staff was very friendly. The location and castle is awesome, has a nice restaurant and our room(s) (Junior suite) were located on the best spot of the castle. Don't miss it if you are in the neighbourhood, you will not forget this place and will be wondering about the glory of the builders and early residents. Do not expect a modern hotel were everything works. It is an old building. There is noise of the old radiators or cooling, but for us that is also the charm of this place. It is really an amazing place and you are sleeping in a museum. So is this a bad point? For us it was not. You will be back in the surroundings of the rich and famous of the 20th century.
Minuses:
The noise in the night of the old radiators, air conditioning or water pipes. But it is also part of the beauty, you really go back in time here.
