The church of Bom Jesus do Monte (the good Jesus of the mountain?) a few hours from Porto.
One of northern Portugal’s highlights. The actual church is ho-hum but the magnificent landscaping is something to remember by! Its actually a mini-Calvary or sorts as there are little chapels dotted along the stairs encouraging people to do the Way of the Cross-literally by climbing the hill.
Such a dreamy church…as the say, its all about location,location, location!
