Miguel transferred us from Porto to Lisbon, stopping in Coimbra, Conimbrga, and Obidos. Obidos was probably the disappointment. It is a beautiful medieval town but a bit touristy and we were there off season (way off season). The Roman ruins at Coinmbrga were wickedly cool and much larger than I ex(disclaimer: I’m an antiquities geek) and the Coimbra library was phenomenal but we didn’t see any aharry Potteresque kids there (we did see them in Porto). Miguel was wonderful and we enjoyed our day with him. He and Jennifer can arrange ant tour you want if you have things in mind (this is probably true across the board). Everyone we met was wonderful.
