Title: Bussaco Palace Hotel
Post by: Paulo Bizarro on November 15, 2017, 05:27:15 am

I spent a weekend in this historic hotel. The building was commissioned by the last king of Portugal, Dom Carlos, in the late XIX century. It reproduces and combines elements of famous monuments, in the Manuelino and Ghotic styles.

The Palace is located inside a National Park, that features endemic tree species that are becoming rare, unfortunately. Well worth a visit, for sure. I felt like I was inside one of Agatha Christie's novels:)

Regards.

#3 should be in their brochure or on their website.  What length of lens did you use?
P.S. Way to get your vertical lines parallel!  Many overlook that when shooting architecture.
