Vila Real in 1967
Vila Real in 1967
Text of an advertisement published by the Regional Tourism Board of the Serra do Marão in 1967:
A dominating and majestic region, with traces of human activity from very remote times.
The Marão mountain, with its paradisiacal roughness, is singularly fascinating.
Dazzling views and sites of great interest for tourists.
National monuments of extraordinary value and extremely attractive sites, reached by magnificent roads.
Hotels, pousadas and the best restaurants enhance the interest, in terms of tourism, of this priviledged region of Trás-os-Montes which also includes Amarante, Baião, Celorico de Basto, Marco de Canaveses, Mesão Frio and Mondim de Basto – with their typical and popular festivals.
