Porto will remain on your palate for a long time, and not only for its wines. 

Get ready to taste this city full of charm, color, wonderful bridges and panoramic views of the river Douro. 

Porto is the second largest city in Portugal after Lisbon. Located north of Portugal next to the river mouth of the Douro  in a very special enclave. An unforgettable city with beautiful bridges and narrow, colorful streets full of history and nostalgia that will mark you forever.

In Porto there is one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. The Lello library was the one that inspired J.K. Rowling when describing the Hogwarts library, and here were shot several scenes from the Harry Potter saga. 

It’s beautiful, but it’s always full of Muggles!

In the highest part of the city, next to the old walls, the cathedral rises, of different mixtures and architectural styles. 

In his square we can still see the pillory in which the murderers were hanged.

The views of the city from this square are really impressive.

The most famous and well-traveled is the San Luis bridge, designed by a pupil of Eiffel, so that you will be familiar with its iron and metal structures. 

By its upper level, the tramway and pedestrians, and other vehicles circulate through the lower level.

On the other side of the bridge, we can find Vila Nova da Gaia, the town that hosts the Port wine cellars. We will taste the wine in the cellars while we enjoy a panoramic view of the Douro! 

Porto, it is a very tourist city so there is always a great atmosphere in its streets, terraces and squares. In addition, you will discover the joy and vivacity of the Portuguese people. The Portuguese love the party almost as much as the Spaniards!!

Inside you will feel that you are under an immense sky of arches and vaults with very special lighting due to the impossible colors of its stained glass. 

The Comercio square is a big square where they were selling the products from India.

Sintra has a unique charm that makes it one of the most beautiful places in Portugal. 

We are going to visit the jewel of this place: "Palace's da Pena " with Sintra's castle.

The Cabo de Roca was once considered the place where the world ends as it is known as the westernmost end of Europe. In the souvenir shop that is out there, you can buy a certificate for your passage through the most western point of the continent. It is located about 18 km from Sintra, within the Natural Park of Sintra–Cascais. From its viewpoint, which is an impressive cliff that rises 140 meters above the Atlantic, there is a spectacular view of the coast cut out over the ocean. There we can find a monolith where the exact coordinates of the cape are inscribed.

In the afternoon you will have free time to see some things around the city. A good plan is to listen to fados. If in Spain our traditional music is flamenco, in Portugal they have fado. It is melancholic and nostalgic music that comes from the frustration of the most humble people.
