Braganca.  It was hot!  We did manage the steep uphill hike to the local village and found a really good restaurant.  In fact, we did it twice.

You can just see the restaurant through the gateway.

Exploring from our campsite just to the north of Porto, we were very happy to arrive at a small fishing village and then to find a café that smelled wonderful.  There were lots of tables but no people.  So we went in.  Having chosen some fish from the trayfull offered to us, the whole place suddenly filled with fishermen.  I was the only female in there apart from the staff.  It was obviously THE place to eat.  The fish and the atmosphere was fabulous.

Next, we ventured onto the local train into Porto.  We walked miles and found very touristy places and many interesting corners and buildings.
