As I've been to
Braga before I will not get deep into details concerning it. However, this time it was totally different due to the extremely sunny weather and the Braga Romana festival.
Going to the church of Good Jesus of the Mountain was obligatory. We were not cheating, we didn't take the funicular so while going up we came across crowds of Polish seniors going down.
Can you see the resemblance between Kasia's skirt and all the flowers behind her?
Finally at the top! "Let's eat ice-cream and sit in the shadow." It turned out that behind the church there is a great park with pounds, boats and stuff. Really cool on such a hot day.
The plan was to experience some Portuguese cuisine at lunch time. We went to the restaurant I've been to before with Sara and ordered "
bacalhau com natas". Portuguese people have 1001 or more recipies for how to prepare bacalhau - codfish. They love this kind of fish sooo much that, as I was told, they don't have it anymore in their ocean area so they have to import it from Scandinavia.
We've visited every single place that could be interesting for tourist according to the very nice map from the Tourist Information. As to me, the building below was one of the nicest.
In the afternoon we were in serious need of things to drink, shower or anything that has something to do with water.
The fountain can be refreshing but not for too long...
... after finding the supermarket and making supplies we were full of energy again!
On that day the whole city was filled with market stands - Mercado Braga Romana is a kind of fair with market/bazaar with art&crafts, food and so on based on the motives from the roman times. The guy below might have been even more thirsty than we were....
This time, I've faced more touristic side of Braga but it was fun!
