After spending a week in Lisbon, I wasn’t sure I really liked Porto, but Simon won us over with the true hidden gems of Porto. Of course we hit the highlights, the cathedral and the churches, but then we ventured into the hidden side streets, where the real people of Porto live among the ghosts of the past. From the people, and friendly cats to the colorful homes and narrow passages, we were charmed. The magic of Porto even has me writing a very lyrical review.!!
