"The World from Above" is a wonderful program on Discovery HD. Not sure how many people watch it. These are aerial fly-overs of different countries or regions, along with interesting tidbits of information gleaned from history. Today's episode took us over Portugal and I learned about:
-
Guimarães [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guimar%C3%A3es]
- Peneda-Gerês National Park [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peneda-Ger%C3%AAs_National_Park]
- Bom Jesus do Monte [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bom_Jesus_do_Monte]
- Tenões [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten%C3%B5es]
- Santuário do Sameiro [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sameiro_Sanctuary]
- Porto [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porto]
- Mateus Palace [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mateus_Palace]
- Almeida [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almeida,_Portugal]
I looked for DVDs of this documentary series but couldn't find any.
