Alijó to Bragança

Monday, February 15, 2016

The sun was shining today! Although it was cold it was wonderful to have sun and no rain. As we headed north east towards Bragança we looked for some brown signs pointing to road site sites. First we stopped to find a sacrificial altar. We headed down a dirt road, had to turn around and then get out but eventually we found it. The view from this spot was great too

Next we saw a sign for a Roman bridge. Initially we couldn’t find it and headed down the road but then further down the road we saw another sign and this time found the bridge.

In Bragança the castle was closed because it is Monday but it was still cool to walk around the outside.

Duke and I continue to marvel at the amazing meals we have had on this trip. Almost every night we say tonight is the best meal ever. Tonight really might be the best. We each ordered the €35 three course set menu but there were multiple extras.

First we received an artisanal fresh made bread stick with lemon butter.

Then we has pastry with tomatoe and ham on top served on a black rock.

Inside the box was a hot ball made of meat, chestnuts and almonds.

It was a fantastic dinner with a view of the castle from the windows.
