Tuesday, September 26th, our first full day in Porto was spent walking around the old part of the city and looking at the architecture, tiles and churches. The stone and cement buildings turn dark grey, but the glazed tiles stay bright for centuries. Even the streets were beautifully decorated! As planned before we left, we met up with Mom’s Rotary friends, who are walking the Camino from Porto, for a concert of traditional Portuguese Fado music accompanied by a glass of Port wine. The music was singing was very theatrical and band included 2 guitars, 1 Portuguese guitar with 12 strings and an upright base. Look up Fado music of Portugal!
