If life imitates art, then I want to walk in these shoes.
Beautiful old church in Porto (one of many!) Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina.
The amazing city of Porto, also known as Oporto in English, is located along the Douro river estuary in the North of Portugal and is the second-largest city of the country.

Nice little hotel. During the high season, it will be very noisy. The front desk was excellent at helping you with directions printing your boarding pass. There is no shuttle. Tomorrow is very small. Their dinner is like a hamburger or a sandwich. Breakfast was not worth the money.

1. The air-con is seems to be centrally controlled. When we initially arrived we had to ask the front desk to assist to set the air-con lower. Not an issue. 2. The water pressure and temperature is very good.

Talvez a Estação de São Bento seja a mais bonita estação de caminhos de ferro de Portugal. A vez anterior em que visitei a estação, alguns painéis de azulejos estavam em trabalho de restauro. Nesta última visita verifiquei, com satisfação, que o trabalho tinha sido concluído e pude assim contemplar os painéis em todo o seu esplendor.

Maybe São Bento Station is the most beautiful railway station in Portugal. The previous time I visited the station, some tile panels were in restoration work. On this last visit, I noticed with satisfaction that the work had been completed and I was able to contemplate the panels in all their splendor.

If you're spending time in Sé, check out sights like Praça da Batalha or Porto Cathedral and hop on the metro to see more of the city at Batalha-Guindais Stop or Guindais Funicular.
