Vimeiro is a village less than 5 Km from Turquel.
What can I say about it?
Nice people, good neighbors, and the traditional simplicity of rural Portugal.
The church
As usual, the most notorious detail is the church, with the village disposed around it.
Dedicated to S Sebastian, it is a recent building with a tower from 1904.
Windmills
Standing in a valley, Vimeiro was not exactly the best place for windmills, but, atop the surrounding hills, not far, a few were used and preserved to enhance the landscape.
Picnics
Close to Vimeiro, in Gaio, a reserved area may be used to picnics.
As a matter of fact, it seems to be a club’s area to parties, but it is open and I was told that it may be freely used, so, if you need to stop and eat your catered food, that may be a place.
Vale do Vimeiro – Suprise
Vale do Vimeiro – Suprise
I couldn’t imagine that far from everything, in a very secondary narrow road, someone decided to open a large restaurant, breathing optimism for its look, size and location.
In a rainy night I had a reasonable quick dinner, served with simplicity, but being in a large group with reserve it was impossible to check the regular service.
One day, when I decide to have a meal out and not far from home, I will try it again.
