My last words on a fabulous two weeks in Portugal won’t be anything profound. It won’t even be a lot of words. Our trip ended in Porto, and its beauty is something that has stuck with me since back in October last year. I think some of the photographs I took can speak to the sense of place better than I can by attempting to write about it. So, here is how my mind will always remember Porto, one of the most beautiful cities I have visited in my travels.

We had a chance to visit Porto a couple of years ago and absolutely loved every minute of it, it’s such a beautiful place to explore
Just back from Porto and Northern Portugal – loved it all.
