My best memory of Fafe is a concert where I've been in my last night as a single man, fortunately a much happier memory than the one related with this monument

São Torcato

My wife and I visited the sanctuary of São Torcato because we got lost. We were leaving Guimarães and we took the wrong road. While we were turning back we sighted the sanctuary and we decided to go until there to visit it. They had postcards to sell but only in black and white.

Minho

Minho is a region in Portugal that comprises the districts of Viana do Castelo and Braga. What I most like about Minho is that the green looks greener than everywhere else.

I was once in Vila Verde with some friends to eat a wonderful lamprey rice. We visited this sanctuary where there are some skins of giant snakes because of a local legend.
