Title: We LOVE Braga: Things to do when visiting Braga, Portugal   

Summary of Episode

We start our Epic Road Trip series with this episode on Braga. We took an 8 day trip up north to Braga, Guimarães, Ourense, Spain and Aveiro.

In this episode, we cover our lunch escapade at the Hotel Palácio de Buçaco, located in the heart of Portugal, about 20 minutes north of Coimbra. This Hotel was once a convent, then a palace for the royal family, and then a hotel. The lunch at the hotel was amazing but expensive. The gardens and architecture were incredible.

We then drive north into Braga and hang there a few days soaking in the fun…and heat. We visited the Bom Jesus de Monte and the Braga cathedral as well as walked through the Santa Barbara Gardens, ate AMAZING FOOD, and reveled in the beauty that is Braga.
