Going to Porto

I visited Porto 5 times.....2 times because of a FC Porto-Ajax game.
Ajax was defeated two times,1-0 and 3-0. It was in the former Das Antas stadium. Porto has a magnificent setting along the dramaticly beautiful Douro. In all it is a bit less then Lisboa. But it has his own character. In summer there are enough possibilities to be a beach resort. City beaches nearbye, such as Castelo the Queesio and further down Espinho and some swimming pools in the city. I was impressed during the St. Joau festivities at 23 June when 100.000 s are on the street and are beating each other with real or plastic unions. Not much museums or other places of interest but the setting and atmosphere make Porto attractive for a few days.

I am proud that the Champion League winner Porto had their trainings stage in Zeist. I visited a training. The KNVB training grounds are 6 km from here.
Some players such as Maniche and Deco where still on holiday after Euro 2004.
