Fernanda's house is located in a quiet dead-end street. We are not used to narrow European streets and parking and turning around was a challenge for us but with help from Julio we parked ok and the helpful next door neighbor helped us turn around the next day. Julio (Fernanda's brother) was there to check us in and gave us a very warm welcome - including a glass of the local port. We were told to help ourselves to any food already in the frig (there was quite a lot) and also given a very nice bottle of a regional red wine - thank you very much.
The house quaint - it is right on the street and has no windows downstairs (there are two doors) and upstairs there are windows only in the master bedroom.
We walked to the old part of town to have dinner - Julio recommended Franesinha which we did try and did enjoy, thanks. It was maybe half an hour into town (uphill) and we walked back along the river. I had imagined that the river would be a pleasant promenade but it wasn't - there was a high speed road and nothing much else - although we did see some good views.
