Great Getaway by JWillow

Porto is a great short break away from the madding crowds and to date, it doesnt appear to have been spoilt or overrun by tourists – even at Easter time.

What does it have to offer? great port, a great waterfront hub of activity abuzz with busy restaurants serving traditional portugese dishes and the freshest of seafood. But be careful – everything is saturated in salt – to the point of destroying the true flavour of the food!

Long walks and picture postcard views surround you. The Douro beats every heart and it will capture yours like it did mine!

drifting by megz4716

I arrived in Porto in the early AM, got off my train, and went to buy a ticket to continue on to Santiago de Compestella. Unfortunately the train didn’t run that day, and as people were waiting for me in Santiago, I had to press on. After leaving the station and wandering for quite some time, I happened upon what I thought was a travel agency, found someone who just happened to speak some english, and bought a bus ticket. The next challenge was finding an internet cafe to let my friends know when I would arrive. Things could have worked out much more unfavorably, but flying by the seat of your pants is half the fun.
