This look to me as a wonderful ideia. And Braga, the city where YAPC::EU::2005 will be, is near Peneda-Gerês, a beautiful natural park, and there is some storic location around also. (That excluding Braga it self, that is an amazing small city).

There would be a lot of things in that area that could be choosen, and that wouldn't have much to do with Perl.

And my visit to the portuguese north-west is already schudeled to last 'til Sunday, so you could count on me for the weekend also.
