On the second day we headed out to Foz do Douro and Matosinhos, small seaside towns just north of Porto. It’s possible to walk there from the Porto city center by following the paved walkway that winds along the coastline, however it will take about 1-2 hours.

The aesthetic and layout of this place reminded me of the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, which is not surprising since Brazil was settled by the Portuguese.

I was lucky to be able to capture this special moment. From the cliff-top, the view looks like a watercolor painting.
