Pousada Senhora das Neves (Town: Almeida)
This Pousada is located only 17 kilometres from the border with Spain
and the frontier town of Vila Formosa. The local town of Almeida was
defended by a five-point star fortress designed by the French in 1641.
Almeida was recognised by the Spanish as to belonging to Portugal in
1297, but since then it has been a history of conflicts between the
Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. A French shell caused the
gunpowder held in the castle to be ignited and destroyed the main
structure. General Wellington used the fort as his base before the
battle of Messana. The remains of all these conflicts are still well
worth visiting. There are twenty rooms in the Pousada and one suite,
with a good restaurant and bar.
The Pousada is approximately 233 kms from Porto Airport.
