On the south bank of the Douro River all the wine cellars of the regions port wine growers are located, they call them wine caves here. Anyway, we finally got around to visiting them today.
We did a tour of the cellars, learnt all about the different types of port, and eventually got to taste some white and some ruby ports. Now we have some little samples to try out on our own time too!
We happened to then bump into a couple from Adelaide that we had met on the UK walk, so had a lovely lunch by the river in the sun.
A ride on the cable car heading back to our hotel, and all up a great last day in Porto.
We have found that as long as you try places that are not total tourist traps, the food can be very tasty and quite different. They know how to cook fish in this town!
