Completely different to those usual Portuguese holidays taken in the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Algarve&lt;/span&gt;, the Alto &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Minho&lt;/span&gt; region of North Portugal offers are guests a chance to sample the true Portuguese way of life unique to this area.&lt;br /&gt;You can still see the occasional oxen and cart in this lovely unspoilt rural countryside with its host of charming hamlets and villages where the local cafe / bar is still the hub of rural life. The wonderful lush green scenery all year round and stunning views especially in the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Peneda&lt;/span&gt; National Park offers those so inclined splendid sightseeing and a host of outdoor activities such as Walking, Mounting biking, Cycling, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Cameoing&lt;/span&gt;, Fly fishing, Course Fishing, River rafting and bird watching together with a chance to relax and sunbathe by their own private swimming pool when feeling less energetic. For those interested in the history of the area, there is an array of ancient churches, medieval towns and fortifications, Roman bridges and viaducts together with numerous Celtic settlements. There are several golf courses in North Portugal, but the nearest is in &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Galicia&lt;/span&gt; some 20 &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kms&lt;/span&gt; away. The Portuguese love to party and are some of the most friendly people you can wish to meet. There hospitality is second to none, probably due to the odd glass of wine. Throughout the summer months there are fiestas and folklore festivals with music and dancing everywhere and generally free of charge. &lt;strong&gt;One thing not to be missed in June around the 23rd is our local fiesta. This goes on for 3 days and nights with free entertainment throughout. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first fiesta's start at Easter and go on through the summer until late October.&lt;br /&gt;See our websites :-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.portugal-holidayvilla.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;www.portugal-holidayvilla.co.uk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.maggiescottage.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;www.maggiescottage.co.uk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;This website is all about the Alto minho take a look at it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rtam.pt/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;http://www.rtam.pt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34679355-116083441212348898?l=casamargarida.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://casamargarida.blogspot.com/feeds/116083441212348898/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34679355&amp;postID=116083441212348898' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34679355/posts/default/116083441212348898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34679355/posts/default/116083441212348898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://casamargarida.blogspot.com/2006/10/our-part-of-portugal.html' title='Our part of Portugal'/><author><name>Maggies Cottage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00980441657478998936</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04652257836293523844'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
