Porto

Porto is a coastal city in north-west Portugal, and I had the pleasure of visiting there for two weeks when I was a post-graduate student. I remember it very well as it was my first ever trip outside the UK. My abiding memory of Porto was an afternoon spent at a plant where they make port wine - which is Porto's best known export!

Porto is located very close to the coast of Portugal

The river Douro is a prominent feature running through the city

A view from on high - it's a big city!

A good way to spend a Sunday afternoon is strolling by the sea

Very distinctive rooftops and architecture in Porto
