We went to this hilltop catholic pilgrimage site in the afternoon, day-2 of our tour. From below, we saw a nicely designed architecture in Neo-classic but the stairway, in baroque style. Amazing to view, we decided to go up to this sanctuary of Good Jesus. That was the best time i suppose to visit this place, There were only few... More

Sad that funicula was not running on the day we went. Enjoyed the experience as always wanted to see it but prefered Lamego, just south of the Douro, Which is similar but not as well cared for. More
