Charming little resort on the coast. Beautiful by the sea but a bit touristy further back with plenty of "pubs" etc. Property prices here similar to Cote d'Azure.

Mixed feelings about Porto. There are some very nice buildings spread out over a large area. And it is very up and down. The public transport is excellent and a great way of getting around.
