Porto and Gaia: Walking Tour of Douro's Two Riversides
This tour starts in the square of Henry the Navigator, also known as the Infante of Sagres, the seed of imperial Portugal and the most beloved infante of Oporto, since he was born here, we will see his house and tell his story, fundamental to understand that Portugal occupied 4 continents.
We will go into Ribeira and Barredo, the oldest neighborhoods of Porto, we will see what they were, what they are, and what they will be. We will talk about how the medieval city functioned, its walls, gates, and posts, the old customs, and above all the importance of the Douro, since like so many other great cities, Porto was born on the banks of this great river.
And we leave for the end, the best known of both shores which is, obviously, Port Wine, we will explain why it is neither wine nor Port Wine in a small winery where the tour will end.
Our tour will be full of recommendations of where to eat, drink, see the best sunsets, and have a good time.
