Those pics, they make us want to wistfully weep. And pack for Portugal with some immediacy. -os-Rios in Portugal's Ponte da Barca is in an utterly beaut location, between the Lima and Tamente rivers in the Peneda-Geres National Park. This is Portugal's only national park, a designated UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and one of the most visited natural spots in the country, for its wildlife and plants, activities on land and water, and of course that utterly beaut landscape... as we say, the pics make us want to pack with some immediacy. At base, the -os-Rios camping field is shaded by pine trees and is a short walk away from the site amenities: a loo block with free hot showers, a mini market and a playground. Bike hire is available and there's also pétanque and fishing on site. And another factor that makes us want to pack with some immediacy is the site restaurant, in a cosy meeting place with a big shaded terrace and serving highly tasty local dishes including a vegan menu at decently small prices; try local meats, octopus, traditional cod dishes and Cabrito (roast goat kid) cooked slowly by a blazing hot fire...
