vista da Ponte de Lima - a photo on Flickriver

El río Limia (Lima en portugués) es un río internacional que fluye por España y Portugal, con una longitud de 108 km. Nace a 975 m de altitud en el monte Talariño, en la provincia de Orense y desemboca en el océano Atlántico en Viana do Castelo. Su curso gallego es de 41 km; en este tramo, el río tiene muchas denominaciones locales, como Talariño, Freixo o Mourenzoiene.
En 138 a. C., el general romano Décimo Junio Bruto intentó deshacer el mito de el rio tenía la propiedad de borrar la memoria de quienes lo cruzaban, lo que dificultaba las campañas militares en la zona. Se dice que cruzó el río y entonces llamó a sus soldados desde el otro lado, uno a uno, por su nombre. Éstos, asombrados de que su general recordara sus nombres, cruzaron también el río sin temor, acabando así con su fama de peligroso. En sus orillas construyeron el campamento de Aquis Querquennis del que se conservan restos actualmente.

The Limia River (Lima in Portuguese) is a river in Galicia, Spain, and Portugal, with an extension of 108 km. The source of the Limia is Talariño Mountain (975 metres), close to the Paradiña village in the Sarreaus municipality (Ourense, Spain). It crosses the border into Portugal close to the Lindoso village, and reaches the Atlantic near Viana do Castelo. The Limia was considered by the Romans as the mythical Lethe, which according to legend erased the memory of those who crossed. At 138. BC, the Roman general Decimus Junius Brutus tried to undo the myth. It's said that he crossed the river and then called his soldiers from the other side, one by one, by name. Here, amazed that his general remember their names, also crossed the river without fear, thus ending its dangerous reputation. On its banks built Querquennis Aquis camp which currently remains are preserved.
