Avô

Avô (photo copyright Terry Hill) Ilha do Picoto

In the heart of Central Portugal, in a valley of the pretty Alva river, lies the lovely little town of Avô.

In Avô the river Alva and the Ribeira meet to create a little island - "Ilha do Picoto".

The Ilha do Picoto and the river with its beautiful stone bridges; the grand old houses and the ancient cottages huddled together alongside the narrow cobbled streets leading up to the castle ruins; make Avô a very picturesque little town full of character and charm.
