We loved Braga! Have a great time. The rain here is forecast for the next 4-5 days. But more serious 1-2” per day. So we will take our time. Be careful
Don’t think there is one. One app “starts” at not the cathedral by the waterfront but at the Alta Cruse. We left Vigo 2 days ago - stayed near the train station Urzáiz - and that is the street that comes straight into the coast route! Our hotel was around the corner - 10 min from the port/old...
