North Portugal
As
those of you that return year after year will testify, this is a
tremendous holiday, and our Portuguese leader, Paula looks after
you extremely well. You will be staying at a local, independent
family run Hotel Contriz, where staff know us well.
North Portugal has a
pleasant climate, not as excessively hot as the south and with
mild winters.
The region is less
well-known and intriguing, with a visit to Porto, Portugal’s
second city and the home of Port wine on the agenda, where we
might tour one of the famous Port Houses to see its manufacture
and maybe a tasting. We may also visit the beautiful walled city
of Valenca on the Spanish border and the pilgrimage site, Bom
Jesus, near Braga.
Our Portuguese
holidays are for those who like to be kept active day and night
and not for the faint-hearted.
