Porto houses





Here are some of manor houses I saw on the main boulevard in Porto, such a contrast to the empty shell of a building posted here, also on the main boulevard. The old church features the azulejos tilework typical to the area - you'll notice some on the manor houses too. And here also is an Art Deco storefront in the historic center area. Some buildings of that era have been maintained very well, including cafes I'll need to catch on a future visit. We were too busy being wined and dined by Gerald's company - one night having a private port cellar tour and then a dinner in their dining room too - quite an elegant evening.
