Hello traveling friends, today I want to share with you a great day on the banks of the Douro river in the fantastic and mythical city of Porto, I made a business trip but took a day to visit some places that I did not know in the north including the car museum where we will learn on the first electric transport cars in Europe we will also take some photos of the river and its bridges and we will culminate eating some pizza in a restaurant known for serving the best pizza in Portugal in vila nova de Gaia: churches, avenues, nature of everything in this post!๐๐ฐ๐งญ

A five star stay๐ฐ๐/ Una estadia cinco estrella๐
When I arrived at the hotel that the company had reserved for me, my first impression was... oh! it is small!! and actually the structure of the building is narrow and small but I was surprised with the rooms are huge! the bathrooms too, the service was spectacular, the cleaning lady was a love... With this recommendation I can tell you that if you come with the intention of staying on the banks of the Douro in summer, then this hotel will be ideal for you and your family between 70- 80 euros per night you will spend unforgettable days and at night the street is very active and cool since in summer Portugal is too hot!๐๐ฉ๐ฐ
Cuando llegue al hotel que me habia reservado la empresa mi primera impresion fue... oh! es pequeno!! y en realidad la estructura del edificio es angosta y pequena pero me lleve una sopresa con los cuartos son enormes! los banos tambien, el servicio fue espectacular la senora de limpieza un amor... Con esta recomendacion te puedo decir que si vienes con intenciones de hospedarte en verano en la ribera del Douro entonces este hotel sera ideal para ti y tu familia entre 70-80euros por noche pasaras dias inolvidables y de noche la calle es muy activa y fresca ya que en verano portugal es demasiado caliente!๐

Walk on the banks of the Douro river๐ฐ๐/ Paseo en la ribera del rio douro๐
Porto has many interesting things to visit and for all tastes, I have already published in other posts videos with my drone about its beautiful beaches that, despite not being the best in Portugal, are sought after due to their climate, then you can take several guided tours or tours that will allow you to visit the outskirts of the city and get to know the more natural side of Porto. Braga is not far away and you can visit several nature reserves and even Spain! but for those who do not want to waste energy and just rest walking and get to know the culture, then when you stay at the hotel that I show you, you can walk about 4 km along the Douro River, which is the second most important in the country after the Tejo de Lisboa. Here you can take some photos on the main bridges, visit some museums or fancy restaurants! Do not forget to try one of the best wines in the world, those of port.๐ฐ๐ฉ๐
Porto tiene muchas cosas interesantes para visitar y para todos los gustos, ya e publicado en otros post videos con mi drone sobre sus hermosas playas que apesar de no ser las mejores de Portugal son bastantes buscandas por su clima, luego puedes realizar varias visitas guiadas o tours que te permitiran visitar las afueras de la ciudad y conocer el lado mas natural de Porto a Braga no hay mucha distancia y puedes visitar varias reservas naturales e incluso Espana! pero para aquellos que no quieren gastar energia y solo descansar caminando y conocer la cultura entonces cuando te hospedes en el hotel que te mostre puedes caminar unos 4km a lo largo del Rio Douro que es el segundo mas importante del pais luego del Tejo de Lisboa, aqui puedes tirarte unas fotos en los principales puentes, visitar algunos museos o restaurantes de lujo! no te olvides de probar uno de los mejores vinos del mundo los de porto.๐คทโโ๏ธ๐๐โโ๏ธ

The only thing I don't like about the north of Portugal and I mean Porto is its climate... It's too strange one day it can be very sunny and the next day it rains and I mean in summer! That is why I advise you if you are going to do outdoor activities, always check the weather even if it is summer and there are 40 degrees... Otherwise, on the banks of the Douro there are many viewpoints which you access for free and which have the most beautiful views of the city and Don't worry, you can stay there until dawn, it's very safe.๐๐งญ
Lo unico que no me gusta del norte de portugal y me refiero a Porto es su clima... Es demasiado extrano un dia puede hacer mucho sol y al otro dia llover y me refiero en verano! por eso te aconsejo si vas hacer actividades al aire libre siempre revisa el clima aunque sea verano y haya 40 grados... De resto en la ribera del Douro hay muchos miradores los cuales accedes gratis y que tienes las vistas mas bonitas de la ciudad y tranquilo puedes estar hasta la madrugada por alli es muy seguro.๐๐ง
Knowing the history of Portugal๐ฐ๐/ Conociendo la historia de Portugal๐
I present to you the church "Santa Carpa da Misericordia" which is one of those places open to the public that you cannot miss visiting first, they are free and the architecture is fantastic, a mix between baroque, gothic and other styles! When we enter these huge structures we learn a little about the history of the country, churches like these are more than 300 years old, some up to 700 years old, many of them survived the earthquake of the 17th century and today are a memory of some that were used by the famous crusaders.๐๐๐โโ๏ธ
Te presento la iglesia "Santa Carpa da Misericordia" que son de aquellos sitios abiertos al publico que no puedes dejar de visitar primero son gratis y la arquitectura es fantastica una mezcla entre barroco, gotico y otros estilos! cuando entramos en estas enormes estructuras aprendemos un poco sobre la historia del pais, iglesias como estas tienen mas de 300 anos algunos hasta 700 anos, muchas de ellas sobrevivieron al terremoto del siglo XVII y hoy en dia son un recuerdo de algunas fueron usadas por los famosos cruzados.๐ฐ๐งญ๐
This is the museum of the car that I was telling you about at the beginning of the post, it was created in the nineties and it is one of the most visited in the city, of course it is not free, you must pay five euros! However, it is worth it because you are going to take a trip to the past where you can see the evolution of the country's trains and I would say the world since many of them came from England and Germany, the museum was an old transport company that still preserves the facilities to know how was the transport between the forties and seventies!๐ฐ๐โโ๏ธ๐
Este es el muso del coche del que les comentaba al inicio del post fue creado en los anos noventa y es uno de los mas visitados de la ciudad, claro no es gratis debes pagar cinco euros! sin embargo vale la pena porque vas a hacer un viaje al pasado donde podras ver la evolucion de los trenes del pais y diria del mundo ya que muchos de ellos venian de inglaterra y alemania, el museo era una antigua empresa de transporte que aun conserva las instalaciones para asi conocer como era el transporte entre los anos cuarenta y setenta!๐จโ๐ป๐๐
My day was fun and special. I took advantage of visiting a family that I have in the north, so I did a bit of everything. The pizzas you see here are the ones I told you about at the beginning. They are homemade, too good. Between the four of us, we spent 50 euros. It seemed cheap to me. including drinks! once again Porto is an excellent tourist destination for you.๐โโ๏ธ๐ฐ
mi dia fue divertido y especial, aproveche en visitar una familia que tengo en el norte por tanto hice de todo un poco las pizzas que ves aqui son las que te comente en el inicio son caseras demasiado buenas entre los cuatro gastamos 50 euros me parecio economico incluyendo las bebidas! una vez mas Porto es un excelente destino turistico para ti.๐

As lovely Porto seems, as much I understand you about the weather variations. It sucks to be on a vacation and never be confident about what you should wear the next day, as well as if you should cancel your plans or not. But I guess it's our mission not to let the weather change our plans and still explore as much as we can. :)
You have great place there in Portugal. Hope to visit there when I get to Europe. !PGM
