Rua Fonte do Choupo in the City of Tomar in Portugal
This street in Tomar is called Rua Fonte do Choupo. There is a lane nearby with a similar name but it starts as “Travessa” (lane) rather than “Rua” (street). Apparently in the 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a fountain at the corner of this street and Rua Marquês de Pombal. This old fountain has gone but the name remains the same. This street runs alongside Nabão River at the start, but then goes around the football field of Tomar.
