We had a wonderful time with Paolo our most charming and learned guide, our visit to this wonderful marketplace was highlighted by wonderful smells and amazing sights. Paolo was able to introduce us to many different merchants and we had a wonderful time tasting different wines and cheeses , the pairings were amazing. We also experienced a great variety of cured meats served in the most delicious bread. We had some great coffee and local pastries. After the market we went to what we were told is Porto’s oldest restaurant and were treated to some delicious Spumante wine and a delicious sandwich. Finally we ended the evening by strolling through the city center and got some great information about Porto’s past. The final destination was a wonderful small restaurant where we were treated to one last wonderful bite and a final glass of wine.
The one thing that made this experience so memorable is Paolo’s true love for food and art, his explanation and description of all the different things we experienced fully conveyed his passion on this subject. Thank you Paolo for sharing your passion.
