For the second time in 6 months we had the privilege of spending two glorious days with Pedro exploring Portugal north of Porto. These two days were just as fun, well organized, informative and delightful as those we spent with him last September . Pedro is a wonderful guide because he truly enjoys introducing his guests to everything Portugal has to offer !
