Located in the north of Portugal, Braga is the third largest city in Portugal, after Lisbon and Porto, and is also the oldest city.

Amarante is a small town in northern Portugal with a population of less than 20,000 people, Amarante's name comes from the Portuguese amar, which means "to love", and I translate it as "to love". This small town dates back to the Stone Age and Bronze Age, and later the concentration of urbanization developed in 1187-1259. Here are many famous Portuguese artists and writers from the early 20th century. All I can say is that such a fairytale town can indeed trigger artistic inspiration!
Porto is the second largest port city in Portugal and the gateway to northern Portugal. Perched on a hill overlooking the Douro River in northern Portugal, jagged houses stretching all the way down the Douro River to Ribeira in the city centre. Porto's most popular attraction is the Ponte Dom Luis, a metal double-decker arch bridge connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
In the middle of Portugal's Estrela Mountains, on a high cliff, there is a medieval village called Monsanto, which is known as "one of the most Portuguese villages in Portugal", which has well preserved the essence of Portuguese culture. The 12th-century Portuguese lived and developed on hills, and they used boulders to build houses. The boulder-strewn Monsanto, although small, is very distinctive, mysterious and fascinating.
