Porto, Portugal, (the second-largest city in Portugal, after Lisbon) was established by
the Celts on the mouth of the Douro River. The history of Porto, Portugal, is that it was later occupied by the Romans in the fourth century. The Romans added a port called “Portus Cale,” which
resulted in giving the nation its name: Portugal.
This Saturday I had the opportunity to travel to Portugal. The first city that I visited in the country was Braga, the second was Guimares, and lastly, Porto. Porto was one of my favorite cities because it has a rich history that predates to the beginning of time. Another reason is that it's a city that never sleeps.
The city has life along so much to offer; such as restaurants, parades, bars, and opportunities for enjoying an amazing walk along the Douro River. The port is huge and definitely a sight for sore eyes. Where I’m from there aren't any enormous ports, and this one has a long history.
The food in Porto is absolutely astounding. The flavors for their pastas, pork, and steak are rich with exotic flavors that tempt you to ask for more from the menu.
In addition to the many things that Porto has to offer, almost everything is in close proximity. And, for once, I don't have to worry about parking. I can simply walk to wherever I want to go.
It is also a diverse city, where one can see so many people from different parts of the world.
A fellow traveler who spent time in Porto Portugal summed up the vibe on Portugal. "It was too much fun," Emily McGhee said.
