LAMEGO NOSSA SENHORA DOS REMEDIOS SANTO ESTEVAO DOURO PORTUGAL (PART 13) WILDFIRES!

Lamego is a delightful town set amidst the vineyard covered hills of Portugals Douro region. The town is famed for its magnificent baroque stairway that climbs the steep Santo Estevao hill to the beautiful Nossa Senhora dos Remedios church.
Lamego may be small but it has an extensive history. It was here that Alfonso I was crowned as the first king of Portugal in 1139. Later, Lamego prospered during the 16th and 18th centuries as a wine-producing region, and the town is still a centre for Raposeira sparkling wines.
This history is reflected in varied sights including an ancient Moorish castle, the gothic cathedral, and elegant 18th century villas. Running the length of the town is the Avenida, a grand boulevard lined with monuments, open-air cafes, and market stalls selling the region’s traditional smoked meats. The Avenida captures the essence of Lamego; relaxing, peaceful and distinctly Portuguese.
Lamego makes for a fascinating day trip and is equally suited as a base to explore the Douro Valley region.
