1. The food! My two favorite things were the pastel de nata and the Francesinha. Pastel de nata is a custard tart and it is delicious!!!! I wish I could say I had a picture for y'all.....but every time I got one I ate it too quickly. Oops! Francesinha is a hot sandwich that has ham, sausage, veal, egg, all wrapped in cheese, and placed lovingly in some delicious sauce!! I do have a picture of that!
2. Lello & Irmao Bookstore. This bookstore is super cool!! Not only is it one of the oldest bookstores in Portugal, it was also frequented by J.K. Rowling and is said to be an inspiration for the Harry Potter series!!!! As you as you walk in you can get a Harry Potter vibe from it, and that is why I loved it! The staircase was beautiful and I loved just being surrounded by all the books in different languages!
Look at all these beautiful Harry Potter books!
3. The views! Porto has some beautiful views. Whether you're by the river or you're at the top of the tower, Porto is gorgeous!
From the river you have colorful houses.
Even better....by the river is where the wine is!
From up top you can see how amazing Porto is!
4. The mosaics! No matter where you went you could find different mosaics. Some were simple and some were very detailed!
5. Because I said to go!!!! I loved every second of Porto. The park was beautiful, the bookstore was amazing, the food was delicious, and the people were really nice! I can't wait to go back and explore more of Portugal!
