Braga or "Bracara Agusta" is a beautiful town on the north of Portugal; it is the capital of the Minho region. The Romans dedicated it to their Emperor and called it Bracara Augusta, making it their Galician head-quarters in 216 BC.
It is a town with lots of history and the youngest town in Portugal, where lives more young people, so you will find a great nightlife there ;-)
And if you are like me (crazy about football) you have the team Braga that is playing on the first league. |
|  | You will find lots of churches and on the hill Bom Jesus sanctuary and Sameiro Sanctuary.
Actually it's said that " while Porto town works, Coimbra town study Braga prays".
Don’t miss ! |
