in this issue

the small portuguese town i’m introducing to you today is the administrative center and largest city of the real region in northern portugal: ciudad real.

the city is located on a plateau at an altitude of about 450 metres, on a promontory formed by the confluence of the corgo and cabril rivers. it is situated within a beautiful natural landscape, the escarpas do corgo, and is sandwiched to the west by the alvão and marão mountains.

this is an inland city, but it has a waterfront promenade that runs along the deep ditch of the kolgo river.

attractions

standing on a promontory, ciudad real preserves grand mansions adorned with coats of arms, manueline windows and traditional wrought-iron balconies.

avenida carvalho araújo, with its traditional cobblestone sidewalks, runs through the city, ending at one end at the 19th-century town hall building.
