Sometimes happens to meet the person that can give the feeling that you are special. We told to NUNO (please don't forget this name!) that we are interested in art and history. We had a wonderful companion, we received a lot of information and at the end of journey we get a true Portuguese friend. In two weeks spent in Portugal Nuno was the best guide, the man that truly loves his country. Thank you Nuno! God bless Portugal and Romania too!

We visited the cities of Braga and Guimarães with Carla. She picked us up at our apartment. She drives carefully and gently.
The visits were very interesting, she is very friendly and knew how to adapt our visits to bad weather conditions.
