Re: Porto in Feb

Ok, a brief update on our trip to Porto the other week. In terms of accommodation, would highly recommend the pousada-the Palacio Do Freixo, a wonderfully converted old civil building with plenty of character. It's about a 1/2hr walk (on the airport side) along the river to the Ribeira quayside (but...

Three bottles of graham's 97 at (a surely mispriced) £29.95 apiece!

Noval 63
