CHRISTMAS AT OPORTO

HO, HO, HO

Merry Christmas à tou le monde,

Welcome, bienvenue, to the sightseeing of the most noble, loyal and always invict cité de Porto. Ici you can appreciate the bridge of Luís I. It was this roi de Portugal who built this bridge parce que quand he came to Oporto he had to travesser la rivière by boat a reims and he got very enjoayted. Until the opening of the bridge, son nom was only Luís mais, dans la inauguracion, he crossed the bridge in first, so he became Luís I. 

On the other side de la rivière, we have the majestic Serra do Pilar. Eté dans cette serra que le poet Carlos Tê immortalized Oporto in the poem "Who comes and crosses the la rivière prés de la Serra do Pilar sees a milhayfre feraydo but flying on the ar". Today, malheureusement, cest pas possible to see the milhayfre parce que there are a lot of humidity and it get constipé.

It is also dans lautre coté de la rivière, in Vila Nova de Gaia, that there are the vinhes that give us the precious e trés fameuse vin de Porto. Like the milhayfre we cannot see the vinhes parce que dans le hiver they are very fragile et seulement survive in indoor vases, like the manjeryks or manjerriques.

Maintenant nous sommes at the statue of the tripeiros. It was here that the habitants of Oporto put les tripes des animaux dans la rivière and prepared their meat to make the traditional culinary specialties that gave the city so much name; hamburguers, tacos and kebab. Vous aimez, non?

Ok, we will continue our visit with the stop dans la maison where harry potter lived for several years. Today is a beautiful bookshop et son nom cest livraria lello. 

Lets go.
