Wrapping up Porto

That would be pressing the wrong button before you’ve written a post!

We really felt like we didn’t allow enough time to do Porto justice.  After a port tasting we had a city tour and then some free time.  The city is quite different to Lisbon – which was rebuilt with wider streets after an earthquake in the 1700s.  Porto still has its original medieval street layout (and therefore terrible traffic) but has some really interesting older neighbourhoods, old churchs and a really nice area down on the Douro River with lots of restaurants and bars.  There’s defintely more to explore.
