Great trip from Porto to the small but picturesque small villages of Celorico and Linhares da Beira. Top points: our guide, Francisco, who explain us in detal all the all the architectural and historical details of the monuments, churches, castles, fortifications. Some are almost 1000 years old. The cheese tasting, queijo da serra, unique flavor. And it´s production. The soft and comfortable ride. A great way of discovering portugal hidden places.
