Geraz do Minho Transportation Tips by Bwana_Brown

Rental Car Freedom

Our small Budget rental car, a Fiat Punto, served us well on our 10-day driving excursion around Portugal. It was just big enough to hold our two suitcases, small enough to negotiate narrow village streets and fast enough to handle the super-highways at 130 kph (80 mph) with ease. Having a standard transmission was no problem because I have one in my own Honda Accord! As far as air conditioning goes, I enjoyed driving with the window rolled down enjoying the breezes! Unlike in England, at least you do not have to contend with the extra complications of using the 'other' hand to shift and driving on the left side of the road! On the day that we toured the Minho, starting from and returning to Lamego, we put 300 km (190 miles) of often slow and twisty driving on our little car.
