There is a difference between spending your holiday in a other person's apartment and feeling truly at home. We visited Bernardo at his lovely Beach House, which is only 500m away from the sea, and we had a wonderful time. The places we saw, the people we met, the food we tried and the wine we drank - everything has been really extraordinary. For all the people who follow us: Visit Porto, it is one of the loveliest cities on earth, but also do yourselves a favor and spend some time Vila Nova the Gaia. We loved sitting on the beach and watch the kite surfers taking their turns. We spent our evenings at Maru's Bar, and if you like good sea food and affordable drinks, we suggest you do, too. Finally, we have to say thank you to Suzanna, Bernado's mother, who was so kind to take us places only the citizens of Porto would go. We very much enjoyed our time here, and we will be back rather sooner than later.
