Staircases of the Guindais
Staircases of the Guindais
Out of walls, seized to the abrupt slope, thecasario pours out in equilíbrios difficult, cutfor escadinhas unending, which crib to bemirrored in the Douro. I put on of near, it isa complex micro world of intertwinedconfusions and connected umbilicalmenteto the dorsal line of the steep staircase ofthe Guindais.
About the origin of the word You Hoist thatthere are different explanations. Thescholars tie the toponym to the word"guindal" to what they associate one otherone, "ginjal", that it would be where if theywere planting morello trees. Now the word“sour cherry“ in Castilian means that it"hoists" and from there the origin of theGuindais is admitted.
But also it is the one who thinks that thetoponym in question should originate inthe galindos, people that in the century IIwas living in the mouth of river of the riverVístula and that, in the time of the godos, itwill have passed to the Iberian Peninsulaperpetuating his presence in a siege whomthey called Galinden and what seriates oursYou Hoist.
Crowned by the last one from the clothesof the wall Fernandina, it maintainshowever a climate of suburbs, even in theheart of the city of Oporto.
