A few photos
On Sunday the 11th We went for a little drive around to look at stuff.
There was an excellent church near Guimaraes in a village the name of which escapes me now. They had choir music piped from somewhere and nearby someone with a loud car stereo was having a face off with some bad dance music. This is a detail of the angels above the main entrance.
We went to the pre Roman settlement. Extensive walls and stuff and lots of these guys.
And lots of these.
Big they were, as much as a large rat.
Then we went here.
The weather was a bit cloudy, but that only served to make it more stunning. set on the top of the hill it has steps (a lot of them) leading up from Braga. It also has these two statues set even higher on either side of the steps. Set apart and at such a scale as if to welcome giants to the place built in their honour.
We had a picnic by the one on the right. Nice quiche.
