The town that gave the country (and port wine) its very name, Porto is Portugal’s second-largest metropolis after Lisbon. Sometimes called Oporto, it's an age-old city that has one foot firmly in the industrial present. The old town, centered at Ribeira, was built on the hills overlooking the Douro River, and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 14th-century São Francisco church is a main attraction, as are the local port wine cellars, mostly located across the river at Vila Nova de Gaia.

We found this port shop following other reviews a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing. This was then a must do on our latest visit. Jorge has a fantastic knowledge of Portuguese wines and port In particularly, he is completely fluent in English. We bought wines during our stay, he made some great recommendations for us to bring home. As we have drunk them all during lockdown we went online to order more to be delivered to the UK. It was fantastically easy. Jorge dispatched them the next day and they were here within the week. We will be using this service again... and again. If you are in Porto we strongly reccomend a visit. If you love port wine these are the people t speak to.

String instruments shop. Traditional handmade portuguese musical instruments. It is a place where musicians, luthiers or merely curious can share their experience both as performers and as builders of string instruments.
I was just strolling the streets of charming Porto and stumbled upon this impressive shop. The selection was a little overwhelming. I hope to return one day, and treat myself to one of their lovely handmade instruments.

I had received a unique tote from a friend from this wonderful store so I contacted Filipe and he sent me lots of photos of these incredibly wonderful handmade bags. They are wool felt and hand woven so durable and it does not pile. I had planned to go here in the fall, so this was a Virtual trip.
