Today my walk was close to the city of Porto and next to our great river Douro. This hike lasted for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, but it felt good to feel the river breeze. The day was very hot, around 32 degrees.

On the other side of the river bank is the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia. This place also has a magnificent view of the city of Porto, then you will see.

This time I did not forget to take a bottle of water, because with this heat it is very important to be well hydrated. However, along the way you have drinking fountains, but I prefer in this time of pandemic not to use for loss.

The walkways in this place are very good and have directions for people to walk. As you can see in Portugal we are taking a lot of care for tourists who come to visit our country and of course for ourselves mainly.

In the background is the magnificent city of Porto, which I will later bring more posts about the city.

Many people also come to this area to fish. A beautiful place to relax and do physical activity!
