Discovering Tui: A Historic Village on the Border of Pontevedra and Portugal

Medicine and health sciences786 bytes

Hi Terence,

I'm writing to tell you about Tui. Tui is a village in the south of Pontevedra, on the border with Portugal. The river Miño separates both countries.

In 1950, Tui had a population of 10,000. Today, it has 16,000.

In the past, Tui was a capital city. Nowadays, it is important but not a capital city anymore. In the past, Tui had many shops and a lot of Portuguese people came to buy, but now there are fewer shops.

Today, there are two bridges to cross to Portugal. You can go by car, but it is recommended to use the old bridge. In the past, there were some policemen at the border, but today, there aren't any policemen.

Goodbye.
Eloy
