Surround yourself with religious history & discover the birthplace of Portugal

What an amazing place Guimaraes is as the birthplace of Portugal. A UNESCO site with medieval buildings & narrow streets lined with cobblestones. History is wonderful! Braga is truly amazing too filled with religious history. So much to see in a few hours! Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious! Loved it Our guide Alvaro was knowledgeable & explained everything in excellent English! Thank you
