Porto
View allAll Photos Tagged Porto
Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal, after Lisbon, and the name “Porto” itself influenced the name of the country “Portugal”. Established by the Celts on the mouth of the Douro River, it was occupied by the Romans during the fourth century, transforming it into an influential commercial port and renaming it “Portus Cale”. Porto is best known for two things: its river, the Douro, an evermore popular choice for river cruises, and its port. ... One of the oldest cities in Europe, its maze of steep and narrow cobbled streets is home to beautiful plazas, churches and houses with colourfully tiled façades.

Thank you for supporting me. if I love photography it is also your merit.
Não sei se prefiro o rio
ou o seu reflexo nas janelas espelhadas.
De um lado
os barcos ancorados, do outro lado:
barcos — na imediata memória das âncoras.
Deste lado, o porto, ou o cais,
contracenando com a sua própria inexistência
daquele lado.
Existirá aquele rio nos espelhos?
Poderá este subsistir sem as janelas?
Sou dourada como os peixes que te
desabitaram. E, do outro lado, sou
desabitada.
Filipa Leal.

Outrora usados como transporte do famoso vinho do Porto, estes barcos rabelo são hoje usados para turismo.
Podem ser vistos e usados na Ribeira, no Porto.
Bom fim de semana.
* Just got back from an enjoyable few days in Porto in Northern Portugal. I would have sent you postcards but this is rather cheaper . It was taken from a cable car in Vila Nova De Gaia on the opposite side of the River Douro
