Porto, Portugal





Porto is the second largest city in Portugal, located in the northern part of the country on the estuary of the Douro River. It is part of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city's historic centre, the impressive Luis I bridge which spans the river Douro as well as the Monastery of Serra do Pilar were inscribed into the World Heritage list in 1996. The "faded grandeur" is famous about the city, something that can only be found anymore in very few places, like Cuba or Argentina. 
Porto is namegiver to the whole country as well as the delicious Port wine, mainly produced in the Douro Valley, the second UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Thank you very much Isabel for this stunning sunset view!
