Guimaraes
Day 1-2
Historical city day! ❗ IMPORTANT: WE'LL MEET IN PORTO ❗ Transfer from Porto - Guimarães: 🕐45 min drive by car (one trip) ✈️ For those who come by plane, I'll catch you at OPO airport (Porto airport), or in case you are already in Porto I'll catch you there. If there are other transport options, I'll reach out to you personally and we will solve it! The meet-up will happen in the morning because we'll have a big day ahead! In Guimarães: 🍝 We can lunch in the city center; 🛒 Buy groceries for the next few days, but there are other options closer to our accommodation if we don't. Activities: Visit Guimarães Castle 🏰 an emblematic medieval castle; Visit to Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, a medieval estate and former residence of the first Dukes of Braganza, located in the historical centre of Guimarães. Visit Alberto Sampaio Museum: Heritage of Humanity, in the building of the first monastery built in the city.

Montalegre
Day 2-3
THE WITCHES' NIGHT 👹 FRIDAY 13TH 👹! 🌄 In the morning /afternoon We'll have plenty of time to adjust to our new surroundings: - Explore our house complex and the National Park near our home ⛰️ house complex 🏘️ - Montalegre 🕐1h drive by car 🧹 The event opens at 13h13 🧙🏽♀️ We'll discuss when is the best time to go there, since the highest moment happens at night (23h - Queimada preparation 🔥). My suggestion would be: - Lunch at home - we have a barbecue - Dine out in a traditional restaurant near Montalegre; - Dive into the realm of the witches 🦉 and try the infamous queimada - an alcoholic beverage with powers, typically prepared by Padre Fontes while reciting a spell 🪄. 🌃 The night will be full of surprises: phenomenal shows, 🎆 fireworks will light the night/castle 🎇, traditional beverages, foods, and music all around the place, and of course amazing decorations making you travel to the era of incantations ✨. *Since it's a place I know, I'm open to suggestions and flexible about the organization.
