Love Minho
I was with a group of friends for 10 days exploring the north of Portugal. I have to say I love the people from this region. Well educated, polite, friendly makes one feel at home. But don´t abuse their hospitality, they are proud people. We stay one day in Braga and this tour helped us to visit the main spots with a professional guide. The good and patery of the region worths well a bite, or two.

Visit to Braga
A nice tour to one of the main cities of north of Portugal. According to our guide Braga was known as the religious capital before Fatima (this one only got known in the XX century). It´s a city full of young people and with a lot of ancient remains till the romans. The guide spoke very well the english and the group was small so we enjoyed more.
