I wasn’t a porto lover before this trip. However , once I drank it there, it changed my mind. The taste is different when you drink it in the area where it’s made.
These are the traditional boats on which the wine barrels were transported from other vineyards along the river to Porto, or rather to Vila Nova de Gaia (on the other side of the river), where the warehouses are located.

Porto is a great city. Even though a bit hilly, it was relatively easy to walk. Plenty of places to eat. Nice people!

A curiosity I just thought of, which is quite obvious but perhaps no one here has thought of it. The barrels weren't filled to the brim in case they fell over and didn't sink.
