Castles and stray dogs

We stumbled across a small medieval fair at Agoso where we tasted some walnut liqueur which was being distilled there and served in half a walnut shell. The Portuguese bagpipes were again being played.

Lovely view from the castle



We then visited the ruins of the church of Saint John Batista and, just beyond, the ruined Castelo e Vila Muralhada de Ansiaes.

We stayed out of the way nearby and met a couple of stray dogs in the morning. The rough coated Podenco was quite brave but his friend, who looked like a Leonberger, was very timid and kept well away.




We gave the Podenco some dog treats, bread and a couple of raw eggs, which he lapped up. Even taking some bread from Dee's hand.
