In the south east of Portugal, the river Guadiana forms a boundary between it and Spain. The Portuguese/Spanish border is an open one, so I’d say it’s a soft boundary.
The town of Vila Real de Santo Antonio is in Portugal,and there is a regular ferry to Ayemonte, in Spain.
Before you know it, you’re on your way.
Look up the Guadiana and you’ll see the lowest road bridge that crosses the boundary.
On board the beauty that breaks the boundary.
The very pretty town of Ayemonte waits when you leave the ferry. If you’re in the eastern Algarve, for the modest sum of 1 euro 60 each way you can have this day trip to Spain. It has to be one of the loveliest boundary crossings I’ve made for so little money.
Do you have a boundary to share with the Daily Post? Ben Huberman would love to see!
That sounds like a real bargain, Gilly. Beautiful photos. 🙂
Beautiful captures! You must had a great trip. 🙂 I haven’t been to Portugal, visited to Spain last year. 🙂
How lovely to move from one country to another so easily and beautifully.
Lovely pictures — as usual. You must have had a wonderful time.
Looks like a great trip, Gilly, and beautiful photos. I love the idea of a ‘soft boundary.’ Wish we had more of them.
I’ve hopped that ferry a time or two, Gilly, and driven the road bridge too. Ayamonte always makes me think of Christine. One of her last comments on mine was of the mosaics in the town square. She really loved them. I remember she loved Seville too. Did you enjoy your day there?
Lovely “soft boundary” to share with us.
Beautiful.
