This morning I headed off into town with full intentions of joining one of the recommended walking tours around the old city. There was too much to distract me so I ended up just wandering with my map and guide book. Here are some of the themes of Porto:
Mercado Do Bolhao
Tiles and churches:
Capella Das Almas
Igreja de Sto Ildefonso
Igreja dos Congregados
Igreja do Camo
The grand master of tile work at Sao Bao train station
Lovely shopfronts
Port boats and sampling the port.
We didn't get to do a winery tour as we were a bit late in the day and all tours were fully booked or closed. So we ended up at a warehouse for exporting port where we got to sample seven different white and red ports. Very smooth.
Ribreira
And from the other side of the Douro River
Porto from above from the tower of Igreja e Torre dos Clerigos
The tram
A buttoned vesper
What could possibly go wrong!
