Another field trip took us to the historic city of Guimaraes, billed as the Cradle of Portugal. It was certainly a beautiful city, as the ensuing photos demonstrate. We must have spent two or more hours just walking the streets, the castle and the palace of the Dukes of Braganza. Again, just enjoy the visual imagery of the place, much of which is world heritage listed. And, at the end witness a procession of more than 50 entrants in a horse and carriage contest - rather fitting for town relying on its history.
We thought that this building sympathised with the Greeks in their financial struggles by flying part of the Greek flag.
In case you do not recognise the dude in this photo, it's actually me!
Th Ducal Palace dates from the 15th century. And its interior was richly furnished.
The castle itself is even earlier, dating from the 10th century.
