Our Mobility to Braga, Portugal from 26th April to 1st May 2009

Here is a video made by the children who attended the wonderful and very enjoyable mobility to Portugal. We visited the city of Braga and experienced the sacred, holy places that Braga has to offer.

There was an Olympics ( games without Frontiers) in the centre of Braga where children from all of the schools took part in various sporting activities, visits to many churches and monasteries, a sight seeing tour of Braga, a day spent in Porto and its famous museum – Palacio da Bolsa and a cruise along the river Douro. The culmination of this visit took place at a Roman dinner in the Museum D. Diogo Sousa.
