GNR is the acronym for National Republican Guard, which is a police force in Portugal, equivalent to the French "gendarmerie" or the Italian "carabinieri".
They have an explosive deactivation brigade which has its training facility here, in this remote spot, where they can run their dangerous exercises. Ironically, the local scouts have their center inside the facility!

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
