Day In Porto

























 





Just want to start off by saying Porto is an awesome city. Very vibrant, lots of energy, not to mention all the restaurants, bars & wine!!!!.

I had done some research prior to coming to Porto and put together a self walk tour of some of the sites we wanted to see since we really had just over one day to explore.

Tomorrow we start are Portuguese Camino Walk.
