Guimarães, a city of medieval origin known as the "Cradle of the Nation", was classified in 2001 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
It was from here that the conquest of Portugal to the Moors began, by D. Afonso Henriques (1st King of Portugal).
Still in this foray into history, you continue towards Braga, one of the oldest Christian cities in the world, built more than 2000 years ago, with the oldest archdiocese in Portugal, the Cathedral of Braga.
