Guimaraes
11th May 2024
The Portuguese people hold Guimaraes as one of the most important historical cities in Portugal. They say things like this is where Portugal started. It’s a city in northern Portugal and it has lots to offer the traveller. There is a cable car running up to a mountain overlooking the city. On the mountain there is a cris-cross of paths between the huge boulders, a church, a huge Aussie Gum tree and coffee shops. The views are just WOW.
In the city there are lots of well-preserved buildings and narrow streets, a 10th century castle that is in ruins, restored Dukes of Bragança Palace and a 13th century church.
We took the cable car in the morning and walked the city in the afternoon….a very nice time.
Woohoo a free park up!.
