"Beira-Rio Marketplace" on the riverside of Gaia is next to the Porto wine cellars. Don't be fooled -- they have local Portuguese products & food here...

"A Pérola do Bolhão" is in downtown Porto, a really old beautiful building with traditional Portuguese products and an old Art Nouveau façade.

"Concha Douro" in Porto has been there all my life, and I remember the employees from my childhood. I really like their inexpensive cakes & daily meals...

"Velasquez" is an institution of a coffee shop in Porto. When I was a kid, I would go there with my parents and see famous football players.

Beautiful "Casa da Música" in Porto isn't just a music place .. A lot of my favorite groups have appeared here and I like watching at the skaters outside.

"Paju Restaurante" is one of the few restaurants that are open really late at night in Porto. Go for the prego no pão and the tripinhas...

I have connected "Matosinhos Beach" with a lot of memories from university. I used to do bodyboarding with friends here... What a relaxing time by the sea!
