Tuesday 12.1.2010 day 89 peso da regua We got a 10 am bfast served in our room and we slept so well it was so nice to have a full European bfast with fantastic Portuguese (very nice) Coffee. The locals told as that this is the most snow they have had in Portugal in 70 year! Lucky we got to see it! We decided to have a look at Porto the home of port.

There is a bull fighting ring walking distance to our resort and on all our drives we see them in every town the size seem to be in proportion to the size of the town. None of the locals I have spoken to say they are in to it they all say they are in to football but someone must be going I am ... read more
