Is Braga worth a detour

dink56 said:

A couple of quick questions;
Has anyone walked inland Caminha to Valenca? I want to do the coastal walk out of Porto but head back inland to Valenca/Tui, has anyone done this? any info would be appreciated.
Also is it worth taking a day detour to visit Braga?, if so bus or walk, I have plenty of time.

Cheers

I personally think you should visit Braga but it is better if you do it while you are in Porto (before starting).
The train (from Porto) costs 3.20€ and takes around 1h.

Near Braga (5 Kms) Santuario Bom Jesus do Monte it's worth it

Certainly is. Nice place.

When I last stayed there I had a call from the Archbishops office to ask me to remove my unsightly laundry from the balcony immediately opposite his window)

Took a quick trip to Braga on the way to Tui to see the Bom Jesus and it was totally worth it. Stunning views and beautiful church.
