Memories of stone

Uploaded: July 11, 2008

Description

This is a old medieval village in the Nort of Portugal. Over the last 50 years their inhabitants migrated in search of a better life and progressively the village remained a ruin but preserving all historical roots as one of the oldest ones in the Country. Future leans on historic touristic opportunities. A chance to emerge back in the past...
