I just did a 3 part series of some of my experience in Portugal's fabulous second city. This post will be mainly photos I took with some comments to wrap up my review…
If you're interested in my musings (and tastings!) see part 1, part 2 and part 3.
First up, a landscape shot taken from the Gaia side looking over at Porto, the famous Luis I Bridge on the right and some activity with boats and a couple of tourists sat 'chillaxing' and taking it all in…
Some tasty doughy treats. Does the baker have a fetish?
A bloke having a bit of a boogie in town. Not the greatest dancer technically, but 10 out of 10 for effort!
A slightly different view of the bridge from the Porto side, looking towards Gaia…
Out for a good old stroll and taking in some famous hills. Walked both up and down this particular slope in my time there…
Some activity over on the Gaia side. This is where all the port houses are and where I took my tour. On the left you can see Kopke which is apparently the oldest in the world. Didn't go there myself but may be worth a visit.
Now for a couple of (attempted) selfies. This first one from the Gaia side trying to get in Porto in the background…
Back on the Porto side…
A bit of info on the Douro river…
Fancy some fish? So good they named it twice!
Same place as the third selfie earlier but without me in the way…
This sums up a lot of what Porto's about. The bustling harbour; a thriving restaurant and some entertainment…
A group of lads (stag do?) taking a breather…
A view to one side whilst walking over the bridge…

Up on the Jardim do Morro - a great spot to look out over the city. Perfect for picnics, sunsets and a relaxed and fun vibe…
Another angle from the above park…
A couple more with different views of and from this cool park…
Some 'grizzly' entertainment from the top part of the bridge…
That's either a giant rabbit or I've had too much port! This was between port houses on our tour.

And finally one from the port tasting. This was the third place we visited and 4 different varieties of their famous drink…
So there we have it. I have quite a few more, plus a few that were used in the other posts. Not many of me though! All in all, a great experience and I'm sure I'll swing back in the not too distant future. Portugal is always a lot of fun and has plenty to do, rich in culture and history, good vibe and weather, and not too far from England!
Have you been, and how was it for you?
