Had lots of fun today with the best guide ever, Joana, who took me to the National Park of Gerês, S. Bento da Porta Aberta sanctuary, and an unforgettable chariot ride through the villages. I will always remember the breathtaking view and the things I learned about the North of Portugal. I recommend this tour and I will definitely plan for a second round!
