PORTO (Oporto) - here was born the name Portugal

by diamond7 - last update: Jul 1, 2009

Romantic place at seaside

This is Porto seaside just in the west side of town.
The Porto is an oceanic city, it’s the only Portuguese big city having sand beach inside its limits. So, when you want going to the beach you don’t need leaving the town as there are some nice beaches just in Porto.

A very nice balcony overlooking the sand beach … and the sea.

Cafe Majestic

The high class style just in a cafe.
This traditional cafe is just in the "Santa Catarina" street, that is also the principal walking shopping street in centre of Porto, and is very frequented by the inhabitants and tourists.

Estadio do Dragao

This is the new Estadio do Dragao ( Dragon's Stadium ), one of the most complete and useful sportive complex in Europe.
By the way, actually (2004) this is just the home of the CHAMPION of EUROPE in football
