I'm probably being too strict, but this photo obviously wasn't taken from the point marked on the map, as that points is in the bridge. The photo was taken on the bank of the river, 20 or 30 meters to the left of the bridge, looking towards the convent of S. Gonçalo. I thought I shouldn't open a new spot, with the same name just because of that difference, anyway, here's the warning and the closest coordinates: 41.2685, -8.07808
