Celebrating the Fiesta of St. John the Baptist in Braga


Bom Sao Joao! - as the locals say it.  It´s a celebration of St. John the Baptist´s Feast Day.


The city was alive with many people and lots of decorative lighting on the streets!


Their local delicacy - sardines!


Breath-taking




Deceased bishops of Braga were buried in the Cathedral.  I never expected to see it like this though!


Braga Cathedral - it was a nice visit.  Lots of things to see inside and outside.  There´s a nice garden, museum, cloister, and bishop´s paraphernalia on display.
