On the other side of the Douro River from Porto is the smaller city of Gaia. This is the place from which the wines that are world renown are made.
It's also the best place to be to view the city of Porto.
I don't have much to say today because DW and I are flying from Porto to Faro, in the Algarve region, and then taking a train to the town of Lagos, where we'll be for three nights. I'll have more to say from there, on Thursday.
In the meantime, enjoy this photo of Porto, taken from the city of Gaia.
I stood in the same spot & took similar pictures five years ago, before heading south to the Algarve and later Lisbon to finish my trip. The photos I took on those travels remain some of my most popular on Flickr, and Portugal is top of my return soon list!
ReplyDeleteHappy shooting. Enjoy the anchovies!
