  • When the Portuguese talk about sardines, they don't mean those tiny skinned and boned creatures compressed into a minute can. They are referring to fresh, succulent sardines, the bigger, the fatter - the better.
    Sardines are a summertime pleasure to be enjoyed out of doors, like a barbecue. In reality, sardine season - when the fish are plump and juicy - lasts from the end of May to the end of October, although the fat fish can keep coming until December.
    Some people like to remove the skin after the fish is grilled, but I prefer the fish with the skin and its musky charcoal flavor.

    Things To Do: Cable car up to Penha hill.
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can take a cable car from down town Guimaraes, we past the Pousada to the summit where the Church of Nossa Senhora Penha is located. Here you have restaurants, a small hotel, cafes, a large park and breathtaking views of the region. We also noticed a small motorized cart train that we took and experienced this beautiful Penha park. It was well worth the nominal cost to see this Park
    It can also been done by car, or by hiking for the brave ones.

     Yes, very nice city; I've been to Belgium before, but no tips/pics, i didn't have my digital camera, so, it's very tiring to scan the photos!
