More delightful old buildings for me to enjoy. A mishmash of patterned tiles and bright paintwork.
We head up to the Super Bock Arena which is a multi-purpose venue prepared to host all kinds of shows, cultural and sporting events.
Situated high up above the river it is set in lovely gardens and offers wonderful river views.
Close by are the tranquil Jardins do Palácio de Cristal. Landscaped gardens designed in the 19th century offering fountains, paths and Douro River views.
The peaceful Parque da Quinta da Macieirinha makes for a shady spot to escape.
All this posing is working up an appetite so we’ve headed to our favourite cheap eats spot – 100 Montiditos!
Feed and watered we are heading back to the river, via a lot of photo stops first!
As it is my birthday (woo hoo) we’re hopping on a Douro River cruise – complete with local rose wine!
