...The north and central regions of Portugal is where you'll more often find the real Portugal. In the very north the traditional way
of life is still followed by small communities up in the mountain regions. Minho is Portugal's greenest and most traditional
province and also the country's best-kept secret. It is often called 'Green Minho' because of its green forests and cultivated valleys.
Small houses are dotted around the lush landscape, surrounded by fields. Connecting these fields are granite set tracks which
often have grape vines growing overhead. Liberally scattered around are the great houses of the past, of which nearly all have
been beautifully restored. Spectacular rivers come into this region from Spain. The river valleys of this area of Portugal used to be
the favourite place for the wealthy to build their manor houses. The Minho is undoubtedly a source of water, where green fields
and mountains are in evidence. Besides boasting the great monuments associated with cities, Braga also has deep religious roots
and we feel small in comparison to so much beauty. Another great city is Guimarães, World Heritage and birthplace of the first
King of Portugal...
