Don't forget to taste the grilled sardines. and other Guimarães, Portugal Things to Do Tips

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.

Address: In Guimaraes, nearly all restaurants have it.

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.
