"...The Minho is so rich in perspectives that you cannot get a clear idea of its physiognomy without a persistent hearing of its soulful intimacy. You have to get out of your car or train and, hither and yonder, enter a wood, climb that small hillock, tramp along the rustic paths, get to know the out-of-the-way spots that no guide book will tell you about, cross over the small bridges over its green streams, stroll aimlessly along a bramble-lined path, contemplate a dingle or two from the top of some unknown mirador and listen to the singing of the girls down below, on the plain, hoeing and singing and chatting affably and in good spirits with the lad who’s looking after the cattle by the side of a field, resting for an hour or so under the chestnut trees. Then and only then will you know the old, the true Minho."
