A view of Port from Parisiens

Post by Roy Hersh »

I thought this a bit too over the top critical of the city of Porto. Maybe it is just me. http://www.messynessychic.com/2015/10/2 ... k-to-life/
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Perhaps, but I see where they are coming from. There are a lot of empty and run down buildings. And all of Portugal suffers from graffiti, which I find detracting. At the same time, after spending three plus days in Lisbon and then coming to Porto, I felt that the streets of Porto seems so much more alive with people and activity.
