 | Braga Off the Beaten Path | Tips 1 - 10 of 14 |  |
Popular Off the Beaten Path | Other Off the Beaten Path Tips | All Tips (14) In the fascinating Mount Falperra was erected a chapel dedicated to St Mary Magdalene.
Unfortunately when I was there the chapel was closed, but it seems that it is a unique work in the Baroque style. It was constructed on the eighteenth century.
You will find there an imposing hotel with covered swimming pools and other leisure facilities. It was there that the Spanish Football Selection stayed during the Euro 2004. Leave a Comment

The Shrine of Sameiro is one of the greatest devotion centres to of the Virgin Maria in Portugal. Its construction was begun in the 19th century and ended in the 20th Century.
In front of the church there is grand stairway, at the top of which are two high pillars surmounted by the Virgin and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Leave a Comment

From the Falperra Mount you will have another terrific view over the town of Braga.
But there you will enjoy as well the fresh air, far from the town pollution and a beautiful forest to explore. Enjoy it! Leave a Comment

No no, this view over Braga Town is not the same as from Bom Jesus, it is from another angle but astounding as well.
So go to Sameiro sanctuary and take a good look :-) Leave a Comment

The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte is located in a forested hill about 6km east from the Town of Braga.
You will find an impressive baroque stairway and on the top stands the beautiful church. Leave a Comment

Well, I think my photo says all; it is a great view over Braga.
It is a perfect place to see how Braga has grown.
Don’t miss, the view is amazing. Leave a Comment

Not far away from the city, somewhere in northern Portugal (who knows exactly where...), there are such places, without tourists, even locals! At the picture, Andreas thinks that it is still... carnival. Leave a Comment

At the nearby villages, you can still see such old houses, almost forgotten by everybody... But how can memories die? Is it possible? Leave a Comment

I took this picture -normally, I don't add photos of friends, but I like it!- because I wanted to remember that period, as the same time Yugoslavia was bombed by USA-NATO (most of the Greeks, including me, didn't want this to be happen)... Leave a Comment

Spreaded all over some tiny villages around Braga, the 'canastos' were used by ancient people (and still some are) to dry the corn so that it could be used in making bread and flour. Leave a Comment
