One of the ice-breaker I normally used to get to know someone more is asking “What’s your favorite city?”. When I was growing up, the answer to this question used to be San Francisco in California. After 3 visits there, my answer swung to the other opposite end. One answer from many of my close friends that always surprised me is Porto in Portugal. I was a little doubtful then, but I felt like I need to go to Portugal one day. After our day-trip in the Duoro Valley wine region, we finally get to spend the day in Porto, and it was magnificent. Among the things we love are the winter sky, the cobblestone paths, the giant bridge, the riviera, Gaia on the opposite side, delicious seafoods, and a few bites of Francesinha.
