October 2020 - after a wonderful day in Guimaraes we continued our drive to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus, the good old Jesus, arrived on the top and parked our camper almost next to the church. There is a small cafe Pavillon with a terrace overlooking braga, the cablecar and the numerous stairs. Good place for a second breakfast. Coffee and Pastells de Nata, of course. Meanwhile my daughter and me had to visit the 20-30 koys which were swimming in the nearby fountain. The view of braga was nice, but to have a good glimpse of the sanctuary, we had to take the stairs down, zigzag from one platform to the next. As a sensory scientist the fountains were of special interest for me. Looking up to the sanctuary it becomes comprehensible, why this is a WHS. Good thing though, when we reached the last stair, that there was a historic cable car operated with large amounts of water which brought us up again. A fun ride in this technical masterpiece for only 1,50€. 
Back on the hill we visited the Abbey (which is not particularly outstanding) the grotte and of course the devotionals Shop. And continued to still reach the sea again
