Lo que me soprende es que no sea parte de las Aldeias Históricas de Portugal. Méritos de sobra creo que tiene.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784562254794036959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808730101655419700.post-69367787771448918492013-04-13T23:54:26.387+01:002013-04-13T23:54:26.387+01:00Outro local maravilhoso do nosso país que não conh...Outro local maravilhoso do nosso país que não conheço.

In the middle age the population of this village tried to make a secession from the Republic of Venice. They thought: "Venetians are far from these mountains and are busy in the sea; thus we can manage the self-determination".<br />Instead, the Venetians went there, destroyed the village and said: "Now you build it again, but the name will be MALBORGHETTO".<br />MALBORGHETTO (="Ugly little village") is still the name of this village.Gio.

Espero en poco tiempo hacer una excursión por la zona añadiendo Marialva y Pinhel que tampoco conozco.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784562254794036959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808730101655419700.post-66212628475650499472013-02-17T23:23:53.205+00:002013-02-17T23:23:53.205+00:00Of course.

But it's funny to see that near the confluence of Côa River into Douro River, there is a little village called Castelo Melhor, this is, "Better Castle", also a Leonese forteress before the Alcanices Treaty of 1297.<br /><br />In Portugal there are more curious names of places like Carne Assada ("Roast Meat"), Cabeça de Carneiro ("Mutton-Head"), Vergas ("Cocks"), Vale da Rata ("Cunt's Valley"), Sarilhos Grandes ("Great Troubles"), Sarilhos Pequenos ("Little Troubles"), Quinta da Comichão ("Itch's Farm"), etc.Fronteirashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678973442872332792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808730101655419700.post-48277749834326943362013-02-17T12:14:36.459+00:002013-02-17T12:14:36.459+00:00I was attracted by the name of this place: Castelo...I was attracted by the name of this place: Castelo Bom. It makes me remember that my farthetr's root of family comes from Castelbuono, a village of Sicily, capital of a County between the XII century until the beginning of 1800.<br />The name seems to mean "Good Castle", but in the real that "buono" means "strong".<br />I like, this Castelo Bom!Gio Vehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08266628418601403394noreply@blogger.com
