Day 24 Porto great and Cozy Suites 

We’re on our way to Porto, feeing sad today to be leaving this city and knowing our Camino is coming to a close. This weekend the World Cup for kayaking takes place here. And in a few days a Leonard Cohen concert.

IOff to Porto to have a port wine tasting tour! Have to adjust to stopping sometime!

And here we are having lunch after checking in.  The front of our place gave no clue of what was behind the doors!  Great and cozy place for a rainy afternoon! 

The signature dish of Porto.  My oh my.

The signature dish of Porto, the francesinha is not a meal for the fainthearted. The dish comprises of two slices of bread interspersed by steak, ham, sausage and chorizo, covered in melted Edam and drizzled in a secret, spicy, tomato based sauce, all served with chips and optionally crowned with a fried egg.

And lest I forget I had heard that the Portuguese iron their sheets and after these weeks of going from hotel to hotel I believe that to be true!
