I thought this was just one church, but it is actually two connected by one of the world's narrowest houses - just 1 metre wide. 

To the left is Carmelitas Church, part of a former 17th century convent with a simple classical façade, a bell tower, and a richly gilded interior. 

To the right is Carmo Church, built later in the 18th century. It is a magnificent example of late baroque architecture with a single nave made up of elegant gilt carvings in seven altars by master Francisco Pereira Campanhã. 
Outside, an extraordinary side wall is completely covered in blue and white tile panels. 

The house that separates the two churches was inhabited until about 20 years ago. It was built due to a law that stated that no two churches could share a wall, while also ensuring chastity between the monks of Carmo and the nuns of Carmelitas.

Braga
"Francesinha" is a Portuguese sandwich originally from Oporto, made with bread, wet-cured ham, linguiça, sausage, steak, egg and covered with melted cheese and a hot thick spicy tomato and beer sauce served with french fries. In the Taberna Belga in Braga is one of the bests I ever tried.
