BRAGA Two of the main highlights of this picturesque city, set in a green hilly landscape, are the cathedral (Se), and the Bom Jeusu do Monte sanctuary. The Se is the oldest in Portugal and major religious reference point throughout centuries. Thus comes the popular saying "older than the Braga Se", to denote something that is extremely old.

Escorting tours for more than 15 years

" Working as a Tour Guide is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, because it consists sharing. Sharing experiences and knowledge with people from different parts of the world, showing them the legacy left by the different civilizations in Iberia, recommending the best sunsets or the most popular tapa of that city. For me, it is a pleasure to welcome you to my country. I am ready to share with you my knowledge. Are you?"
