Dream to Travel from NCM

Porto, walking and food—from down-home food to decadent in the heart of Porto

Right around the corner from my hotel, a flea market. So much fun to walk around.
Where I met my group. The fountain in front of the University of Porto.
Clerigos tower — baroque tower in Porto.
Picture perfect walking day!
It was kinda hot — 72 degrees(ish). And I am in black! And sweating.
Iron bridge. Designed by a student of Gustave Effel.
You can kinda see another iron bridge in the background. This one was designed by Gustave Effel.
On my way back to the hotel. Igreja do Carmo — church in center of Porto

Dinner this evening — Oficina, Porto. Out of this world delicious!

A view into the kitchen.
Tuna with celery purée and seasonal vegetables.
With a great Spanish red and a tawny port—Rozes Colheita, 2011, matured in wood, Porto.
Port paired perfectly with my petit gateau de caramelo and caramel salted ice cream.

Tomorrow I meet my biking group. 🤞 for good weather over the next few days.
