September 13, 2024,Spaziergang über die oberste Etage der Brücke Don Luis I. zum gegenüberliegenden Ufer Gaia

Today, the opposite bank, Gaia, with its many port wine producers, was the destination of our walk. But before that, we visited the finest McDonald's. Absolutely worth seeing. Then we visited the great church of Santa Clara. A must for every visitor to Porto. All the wood inlay work was decorated with gold leaf. A total of 300 kg of …

After a good breakfast in the hostel, we started our city tour straight away. In the Igreja dos Clérigos we heard a wonderful half-hour organ concert. We continued towards the Rio Douro. There were crowds of people on the way and we had to fight our way 🤣🤣. The peace and quiet on the Camino was over.
Finally, we went …

The first mental misstep was the way to the market hall. I hadn't realised that today was Sunday and most of the shops were closed. Then I continued …

We explored Porto's city center today in brilliant sunshine. The streets were quite busy in places. There were a few major construction sites, such as the one at the train station. The half rabbit at Bordalo II is highly recommended.

The approximately 6.9 km walk through Porto was a true experience for me – a perfect blend of vibrant city life and quiet retreats. I started in the heart of the historic center, where the cobblestones and colorful houses immediately create a special atmosphere. The city's history is evident everywhere, whether in the small cafés, the street singers, or the …
