I was looking for information on the Quinta de Samaiões for my website on Chaves http://www.portcult.com/index.chaves.htm , and I came across your photos. I like the one of the sabugueiro and the one above. The ideal one would have been the one that shows the hotel itself but I thought it was a bit too dark. I like this one because of the color, especially the bright red from the sabugueiro door.

I live in Chaves myself, though I am American. What nationality are you and what were you doing in Chaves? Did you possibly get married at the Quinta de Samaiones. I watched the building of that hotel. The old building was in ruins for many years. I go by it on weekends when I take my cycling route. The hill going up is a killer.
If you don't mind I have taken the liberty of putting your photo, with a link of course, on my site. You can see it at http://www.portcult.com/16.EATING3.htm I looked for a copyright and couldn't find anything so I presume the photo is for non-profit use on the net. If not, please send me an Email.

All the best,
