No to castle yes to church’s

Good guide and driver, Bruno A & Andrew. Slow tour with not that much knowledge would not go to that castle at the end again that was lame. We took all our free time seeing church’s and enjoyed brago as well. Comfy enough air conditioned bus. Very hot day we had to hide in the shade a lot.
