The small city of Guimarães north of Porto is called the birthplace of Portugal.
An old castle that was heavily renovated under Salazar contains tapestries telling Portugal's story.
Portugal's President and Prime Minister stay in the castle when visiting the north of the country.
The city has picturesque squares and streets.
It looks like a beautiful city, Jack!

ReplyDeleteYes, a lot of Asian porcelain in Portugal. They were a seafaring and trading country.
