A double tour in one! The best you can get for one day; You will have the chance to visit Braga, the Portuguese Rome, and on the way, Bom Jesus Sanctuary, then Guimarães, a medieval small town, "Crib of nationality", and first capital of Portugal, on the XII century.
Let's talk food! Minho gastronomy it is excellent , a real experience for the palate that I highly recommend, so if you intend to take this opportunity I can book a nice Portuguese restaurant for a complete experience.
