this is the first of many portugal posts.

we arrived in Porto on a saturday in september.
we have been there before to visit our dear friends J+M,
so this time we only stopped for lunch before heading further south.

they took us to a restaurant with an amazing view just below the bridge that crosses the douro.
if you only have a few hours in Porto, this is the perfect place to spend them.

  1. This city seems wonderful. I'd like to visit it - I have only been to Lissabon once.

  4. @Irene: I really recommend it, it's a little more quiet than Lisbon, and the view of the river is stunning!

    @Trixi: danke, einige meiner liebsten Bilder hab ich in Porto gemacht, es muss das Licht sein...

    @kitchu: thanks! the lower level looked a bit more fancy, it must be amazing for dinner. I really like those chairs.
