Photo walk tour of Esposende, Portugal - Part 2

This time, we will take a different route, and then meet where we have left off in Part 1. Last time, we passed the marina and children's playground on the right, then crossed the road on the left. This time we will continue straight ahead, passing the marina on the right and then the roundabout on the left. 

As we pass Parque Radical and the children's playground on the right, we will find ourselves by the communal swimming pool.

If you walk all around the pool, you will enjoy beautiful views, which are especially nice at sunset. Right behind the pool by the water, you will find benches, with a built-in wall, protecting you from wind. This is a lovely place to sit, relax, eat, read.., all to the sounds of seagulls. On the other side, you may see some sport activities such as flying powered kites.

The pool itself, is an attraction in the area, with waves, underwater sounds and temperature of 30°C.

On the other side of the road, you will find the tourist office - Centro de Informaçaõ Turistica de Esposende. This is the best place to seek any information, bus schedules, local attractions. The staff are very helpful and friendly. 

Standing on Av. Eng. Eduardo Arantes e Oliveira, in front of the tourist office, walk around and into R. 19 de Agosto, then turn right into R. Ten. Valadim.

Here you will find few simple, yet beautiful Portuguese homes, with colourful flowers and trees. Walk in between blue and pink homes, on a narrow cobblestone street.

The pavements in Portugal are not for walking in heels. Therefore, the middle path, is very convenient for all ladies.

Once you pass the lightly coloured houses, turn right into Largo Cmte. Carlos de Oliveira Martins. Enjoy more coloured facades, until you reach the fountain square.

You will reach Largo Fonseca Lima, a fountain square, with lovely atmosphere and some local restaurants.

Once you are ready to walk further, go under the arcades to find yourself right back on the red carpet of R. 1° de Dezembro, where we have left off in Part 1. Here, enjoy some local souvenir shops to buy gifts for family and friends back home.

We have now reached the end of our photo walk. Thank you for reading this far and stay tuned for more from Portugal, before we move on to Spain in the New Year. :)
