Pedras Salgadas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedras Salgadas (pron. IPA: ['pɛdɾɐʃ saɫ'gadɐʃ]) is a small town in the district of Vila Real, in north central Portugal, located approximately 37 km north of the district capital of Vila Real. It is famous for its mineral waters. There are several small hotels in the area, which cater to tourists who want to relax in the green countryside. The town is located in the municipality of Vila Pouca de Aguiar. Both are located on N2, the national highway linking Chaves with Vila Real. The new four-lane A24 highway passes a few kilometers west of the town and is connected by a feeder road. The railway was closed in the nineteen eighties and the abandoned railway bed has now been tarmacked for use as a cycling and walking path. This path extends to Vila Pouca de Aguiar, at a distance of about 10 kilometers.
