[2/2] Porto’s medieval core is around Sé do Porto | Porto Cathedral (📷1), the tower of which can also be climbed for city views. From the cathedral we continued downhill through sometimes narrow & steep streets (📷2), arriving at the Douro riverfront in Ribeira district. Lined with colourful houses the area was busy with throngs of Easter visitors (📷3). In a multilingual procession we traversed the two-tiered Ponte de Dom Luís I | Dom Luís I Bridge (📷4), connecting Porto to caves do Vino do Porto—the port wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia.

[1/2] Porto was the Roman settlement of Portus Cale, giving rise to the country name of Portugal, although Roman remains are fragmented. Today central Porto is a World Heritage Site, with visible evidence of its evolution from a medieval to baroque town & of its role in Atlantic trade. Our 🚆 arrived into São Bento, with its lobby tiles depicting Portuguese history & we began exploring in the upper city. There were queues to climb Clérigos Tower for pano views (📷1) & at the nearby Livraria Lello bookstore (📷2). On to Mercado do Bolhão, similarly suffering from excess humanity on Good Friday. Given a recommendation from the ladies in a specialty coffee shop, lunch was at Café Santiago on Rua de Passos Manuel: a francesinha, the iconic Porto sandwich, with fries & port (📷3). We walked downhill on the pedestrianised 16th C. Rua das Flores, into the Centro Histórico (📷4).

Now is the Time: A Van Life Road Trip 🏆 2025 BIBA® Van Life Travel Winner!

Lovestruck and newly unemployed, Andrew Singer cashes in his savings to investigate a key question: Is #vanlife as awesome as it looks? After all, what could go wrong when two millennials—who have never used a saw before—attempt to convert a plumber’s van into a tiny home-on-wheels?

[2/2] Passadiços do Paiva | Paiva Walkways trailside smalls. This is Linaria triornithophora | the three birds toadflax, which is endemic to Portugal (📷1). Scilla monophyllos | the single-leaved squill is native to PT, western ES & Morocco (📷2). There were a number of native Quercus suber | cork oaks beside the trail, some close enough to tempt those with knives to prove cork was indeed inside (📷3). Hyacinthoides hispanica | the Spanish bluebell is native to the Iberian Peninsula (📷4). We also re-identified Pararge aegeria | the speckled wood butterfly, attracted to the moist riverside environment.
