Book Project: Ponte de Lima
This is a gallery of pictures shot in a very special village in Portugal. It's a project for a book that will be published soon by the local City Hall.
Ponte de Lima is a market town on the south bank of the Lima River facing a magnificent Medieval bridge with low arches. Its setting, together with a laid-back atmosphere makes it one of the loveliest small towns in Portugal.
It was founded on the site of a Celtic settlement and developed by the Romans, who believed the Lima was the Lethe, the mythical River of Oblivion (visitors who crossed it would forget everything and stay forever).
