Jan S. Krogh's Geosite: Portugal

There are many places in Portugal which are interesting seen from a geographical point of view.

For example 
Olivença/Olivenza region, where Portugal and Spain never agreed on the border.

– Rio de Onor/Rihonor de Castilla, which form practically the same village divided by the border and inhabitants own fields on the opposite side of the border.  

Link (Rio de Onor):

– Barrancos, a big 'finger' into Spanish territory with a peculiar dialect (barranquenho).

The Portuguese-Spanish border consists from these demarcations:
1. W5 – W1: Rio Minho bridge markers (yellow on the map below)
2. 1 – 65: Ordinary land border markers (green and blue on the map below)
3. G1 – G233: New border markers
4. 66 - 802: Ordinary land border markers
5. 803 – 899: Not used border marker numbers due to the
