I first visited Porto in 2005. When I read that for a few weeks only there would be guided tours of the still empty Casa da Musica before the official opening, I jumped on the occasion. Unfortunately, there were severe wildfires in the area surrounding Porto and I ended up with a throat ache and a slight fever. Even so, I had a great time. So when, a few years later, I was invited to give a lecture at a conference at the Casa da Musica I immediately said yes. I also enjoyed visiting the Serralves Museum by Alvaro Siza.

The old town of Porto is highly photogenic

There are many bridges across the Douro in Porto. This one, designed by Gustav Eiffel, is the most famous. When I was there in 2005 the bridge was being renovated. I'm glad to have been able to see it in all its glory and walk on top of it when I visited Porto again in 2008.

I know, this photo could have been taken anywhere, I just so happened to see it in Porto

More Portugal! Lisbon and the wonderful Praia da Ursa. The Algarve and Coimbra are still on my list.
