A pair of 2025 stamps from a set showing coastal castles and fortresses in Portugal. On the left is the 15th century Fort of Sagres near Vila do Bispo, way down in the south-west corner of the Algarve. And on the right is the 15th century Caminha parish church, way up in in the north-west corner of Portugal's northern district of Viana do Castelo. The postmark commemorates the 60th anniversary of electric train service along the 8km segment of track between Porto's Campanhã station and Ermesinde.
