Porto is one of Portugal’s chief economic centres, and the principle site of the region’s famed wine storage warehouses. Port wine is Porto’s most noted manufacture and export. The ship docked in Leixoes, about 5 miles from Porto. We took a bus into Porto. The city is built on the hills overlooking the Douro River estuary, with lots of old cobbled streets. Along the waterfront are lots of restaurants, and on the other side of the river, the port cellars. We took the “6 Bridges” boat ride on the Douro River.
