Porto is a lovely city & seems to have a very relaxed vibe, even in mid October the climate is warm and the cafe culture very much alive & kicking. There is a huge amount of building work going on with very large cranes!
The coffee is strong, the gelato ๐จ delicious, the Portuguese pastries Pastel da nata ๐ฅฎ a delight. I think I'll need to watched the pounds with so many sweet things around.
We start cycling tomorrow from the Paradela Dam a couple of hours outside of Porto. We have 620 miles (1000 km) approx & some 46,000 feet (14,000 metres) to cover over the next 11 days. Thank you for being on this adventure and journey with me ๐ I'll update my blog daily as I go along, I hope you enjoy reading the daily updates ๐๐ดโ๏ธ๐
