Day 132 - Porto, Portugal

PORTO (LEIXÕES), PORTUGAL
Porto holds a place of great traditional importance. The town lends its name to the port wine produced in the region and throughout the nation. Located along a rocky embankment, the city boasts picturesque neighborhoods, fashionable restaurants and lively markets. Like Lisbon, Porto has a rich past; its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of narrow cobblestone (like Czech) streets brimming with romantic red roofed buildings spanning the centuries and a Romanesque cathedral. At the riverside, small barcos rabelos, boats once used to transport casks of wine, paint a charming scene. We are scheduled for a walking tour and Port tasting excursion.Leia mais
