| Luso
Located north of Coimbra,
just off the A1 Lisbon-Oporto highway, Luso is an attractively situated
spa resort whose famous bottle mineral water gushes freely from its fountains.
In the 11th century it was just a village linked to a monastery at Vacariça,
long before its hot-water springs became popular in the 18th century.
The spa centre specialises
in the treatment of arteriosclerosis, an arterial disease occurring mostly
in the elderly, characterised by inelasticity and thickening of the vessel
walls, with lessened blood flow. The thermal waters, which originate from
a spring below the chapel of São João, are said to be of
additional value to sufferers of renal problems and rheumatism. |

Coimbra
Coimbra's ancient cathedral
is one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Portugal. Built
in the 12th century on the site of a Moorish mosque, it boasts a fine Flemish
carved retable above the high altar and a Cistercian cloister containing
an impressive 16th-century limestone relief of the Holy Family. Founded
in 1131, the church and monastery of Santa Cruz are rich examples of the
city's own early 16th century school of sculpture. The first two kings
of Portugal, Afonso Henriques and Sancho I, were re-interred in the chancel
in 1520. Housing an interesting collection of paintings, sculpture and
religious objects, the Macahdo de Castro Museum is located in a charming
Renaissance building, the former Bishop's Palace, with a lovely view of
the roofs and towers of Coimbra. Once the royal palace of the Alcaçovas,
Coimbra University was founded in 1307 by King Dinis. Its library is widely
considered to have the loveliest interior in Portugal, and one of the richest
book collections in the world. |
| Figueira da Foz
A lively and cosmopolitan
seaside resort at the mouth of the Mondego River, Figueira da Foz's main
asset is its wide and extensive sandy beach.
Nearby: A few kilometres
inland lies the attractive and historic hillside town of Montemor-o-Velho.
Much fought over by Christians and Moors, the place is most notable for
its ancient castle, which has fragments of Roman stonework in its keep. |
