🇵🇹☀️ Porto in Summer

Woke up to sunlight pouring in through those tall windows 🪟 the kind that makes the curtains glow. Porto in summer just feels golden. Warm stone streets, laundry flapping above narrow alleys, and the sound of people clinking glasses before noon. 🍷 Port wine by the river, sat on the steps in Gaia, glass in hand, boats 🛥️ bobbing quietly. No rush. Just the hum of the city and the occasional breeze that smells like grapes 🍇 and dust. 🥖 Grabbed a tosta mista from a tiny corner café ☕️ where the lady didn’t speak English, but somehow got my order perfect 😍 and threw in an extra pastel de nata. Ate it standing. Best kind 💯 🚶♀️ Got lost on purpose in Rua das Flores — stopped by shops selling hand-painted tiles and cork notebooks 📒 Didn’t buy anything, didn’t need to. ⛪ Walked up to Sé Cathedral just before sunset. Wind picked up. Whole city turned amber. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wouldn’t change a thing. Porto in summer? You don’t go to tick things off. You go to feel full ✅ #summervacay #foodie #travel
