Visit Porto Portugal - The Destination You Didn't Know You Needed
I didn't plan on visiting the city of Porto. I took a bus from southern Spain that brought me across the border into the Algarve in Portugal.
There a second bus unceremoniously took me the rest of the way north through endless fog and rocky green hills to Lisbon. I admit Lisbon was lovely, but it only took me a day to realize I 'd rather spend my time somewhere a little smaller and ԛuieter.
An hour of research landed me on an apple-green train heading up the coast to Portugal's second largest city, and over the next three weeks, without flash, without pretension or fanfare, Porto became one of my favorite places on the planet.
