Pretty, Unpolished – Porto, Portugal

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” – Neale Donald Walachia

Absolutely gorgeous at night
Looking across the River Douro at Porto from Gaia
I loved the “tiled” homes (more on that later)
Porto is a working city, giving us a glimpse of the citizens who live there.
There are trolleys that run down to the beach on the Atlantic Ocean and around the city center.
While getting off the trolley I caught this young man’s eye and he subtly shook his head, signally me not to “blow his cover”. When the trolley pulled away I spotted another kid clinging on the other side. 😂
The beach
Once the Imperial Café and now the fanciest McDonalds we’ve ever seen.
Complete with stained glass windows and chandeliers – and yet we weren’t tempted to eat there.
Pretty
Unpolished
Conflicting architecture
Typical city scene

Beautiful mural

  2. Never been to Portugal. Liking the pics. Now, don’t you guys go stealing a ride on some trolley. I know you’re thinking about it.
