Casa Sequeira
You'll find Casa S. in the village of Pedregais in the Minho-province.
The distance to the Atlantic Ocean is 35 km.
The village is situated 20 km north of the town of Braga and consequently an ideal basis for exploring the
north of Portugal.
The Costa Verde offers nature-lovers a lot of natural beauty: the green Minho mountains, rivers and reservoirs, while for arts and culture lovers not only authentic villages, but also nearby towns as Braga, Guimareas, Viana do Castelo, and Porto are worth visiting.
Barcelos ( famous for the Potuguese cock ) has got the biggest market for arts and crafts in Northern Portugal. On this market ( every Thursday ) you'll find ceramic art, leather goods and textile, for example table- and bedlinen, woollens, woollen clothing, jerseys etcetera.
The Minho is rural, rustic and quiet, but you could also experience the pressure of business, city dwellers and locals in the cities of Porto and Braga. Here you'll find discos, cinemas, music halls, supermarkets, restaurants, squares, pubs and shopping malls
Casa Seq. offers you a spacious living room with an open fireplace (44 m2) and a big veranda, 16m2.
In the kitchen you'll find a four-burner hotplate and a ridge.
There is enough table- and bedlinen, kitchenware and dinner-service for 4 persons in the Casa.

When you want to make use of the washing machine, please contact the neighbours.
