Castelo Branco - my guide book has a beautiful, I would say even mystical picture of some statues covered with moss - they are in Castelo Branco. Of course, they did renovated the park with the statues and now they look "brand new". There is even an entrance that you have to pay to get to see them. A little bit kitch, but ok in the end.
The funniest thing was meeting the locals. We instantly made friends with some old guys in their 80s maybe, eager to show us direction, eager to help us park the car. Wanting to buy an ice-cream, didn't find the shopman, waited, waited, watched for a few minutes a Latin American soap opera, then decide to leave the money on the counter and leave. It was a smart decision. We checked afterwards and the lady selling in the shop was very happy-she even asked if we didn't need any change. Quiet city.
