We really enjoyed Porto as well, so colorful and compact. One of the special things for me is the incredible street art. So nice to see your photo of piece by SJRA. Took many photos of the poignant pieces by that artist scattered through the Porto streets. Porto has a similar feel to my home city of Portland, Oregon. Not just the grey skies and rain but the art, personality, pride of citizens, grit and beauty all juxtaposed. Have you found the mannequin street? There is a street that we walked many times lined with retail clothing shops with hilarious and scary mannequins (some look like wolves and many just have crazed looking smiling faces and wild hair). It is quite entertaining! My husband is a coffee roaster and his favorite coffee shop in Portugal is located in Porto. It is called Combi and is operated by two brothers. Delicious coffee! Have fun, look forward to more Porto posts.(:
