My City















I live in Guimarães which is a city in the north of Portugal.
It’s a beautiful, old and historic city. There are lots of narrow streets and it’s full of churches, museums and gardens.
There’s an area called Largo Oliveira where there are lots of bars and restaurants.
It’s a gorgeous place, to go at weekends with friends and family.
Guimarães is a world heritage. It is our legacy from the past.
The earl history of Guimarães is closely associated with Portuguese national identity’s establishment.
The city is well preserved with medieval buildings.
Guimarães is famous for its history. The biggest tourist attraction is the historic centre.
The winter can be very wet and sometimes it rains for days.
Summer is wonderful. It’s sunny but not usually too hot and It’s great for going to Penha, the highest mountain in this city.
There is a festival in August called Gualterianas, with a lot of fireworks and people in the streets and everybody spends most of the evening in the streets. It’s a fantastic city and it has real sense of history and that’s the main reason why I like so much living here.
