More photos of Porto!

Torre de Clericoes Clerics tower, Porto.

Built into the city walls the church of Santa Clara is everything the cathedral is not! This chapel was part of a convent, a closed order of nuns. With so much wealth it was the target of repeated attacks and sought sanctuary under the protection of a queen of Portugal. The chapel dates from 16th C.

Art Nouveau interior to Majestic Cafe, still serving coffee, pastries and luncheon over a century after opening its doors, well worth a visit!

Covered street market, Porto

This is the bookshop with the staircase that inspired JK Rowling’s Harry Potter Hogwarts staircase. Unfortunately they wont allow photos inside, but if you are in the city, it is worth a trip!

Intrepid cycle tour group!, ourselves, Anne, Jonathon, Sue and Ed.

All our best Lynne and Alan
