Positively Porto

Uncategorized 1 Minute

“The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve been, and the memories we’ve made along the way.”

I would say these are “tiles” that we saw everywhere in Porto but in Portuguese they’re azulejos.

JK Rowling worked in Porto for a couple of years and the story goes that this book store was her inspiration for Hogwarts.
That seems about right – it’s so beautiful.
I took this pic for my Frodo fans (you know who you are 😉).
This is Luis and he was such a delightful kid that I wanted to include him in the blog. He works at the Guest House Douro where we stayed and he was so sweet and helpful. He is going to go a long way with his positive outlook on life!

  2. I could browse for hours in that bookstore. Luis does look like he will go a long way. Love it when you find someone extra helpful on your travels.

      3. Your right close by a place that has been hand canning some of the best sardines in the world for about 100 years. Pinhais. That is if you like sardines ! 😁

  11. I love Portuguese tiles, and once decorated my kitchen with some – not as beautiful as these, though .
    Barbara and Murph, you make friends wherever you go 😍
