Braga and Ponte De Lima

Michael Portillo's journey continues in its oldest city, Braga, and its oldest town founded in 1125, Ponte de Lima. He's swept up in an evening of boisterous folk music and dancing at one of Portugal's biggest annual festivals - the Feiras Novas, which attracts up to a million revellers over three days. Michael then travels toBraga, with its ancient centre, and a spectacular shrine built into a mountain overlooking the city. Michael climbs the 573 steps to the top of the Bom Jesus shrine, before catching the world's oldest water-powered funicular railway to the city below. He also buys a side of salted cod, Portugal's national dish, for an evening's feast. Michael picks produce with renowned local chef Renato, before helping to cook a meal in Portuguese cast iron pots, over fire. His journey ends on the streets of Braga with belly dancers who have revived the ancient art.
