Portugal: Part Three

Our final day in Portugal we headed out of the Douro valley and back towards the airport in Porto.  Since our flight was in the early evening we stopped in the historical city of Guimarães.  Guimarães was settled in the 9th century and is often referred to as the birthplace of the Portuguese nationality.
