Oporto
Few things are as pleasurable
as a glass of port.
Its unique combination of flavour, colour and texture arouses
the senses in a way which, when shared with friends, make it
a real occasion.
The magical allure of this famous wine is reflected in the place
that gave its name: the majestic monuments, the tranquil riverside,
the home of Henry the Navigator, the medieval Cathedral and
the impressive Baroque churches with their spectacular painted
tiles.
Second largest city of Portugal, Oporto offers a surprising
combination of atmospheres from british influence to the popular
hubub of the labour oriented inhabitants.
This riverside city, just born for the incentive market thanks
to the rich hotel structure allows a mix of traditional and
elegant venues balanced by the more picturesque tramway and
boat rides.
Across the Eiffel bridge a sudden transition will take you straight
to the vineyards and mannor houses of the former landlords.
