Guimarães is known as the “Birthplace of Portugal.” Brent visits some historic places and sites with sweeping views, but mostly it’s a trip to sample the terrific local cuisine. From a tart named after the city to a Michelin guide restaurant to a place you can’t even find on Google, Brent tries it all and shares the best with you!
