Our last walk in Porto, Saturday afternoon, was along the riverfront of Ribeira, enjoying the views of the city above and of the other city across the river, Vila Nova de Gaia. And, of course, the river itself.

| Tour boats |
 |
| Ribeira and quay |
 |
The Dom Luis I bridge; designed by one of Eiffel's associates
(he did the RR bridge upstream), it was, in 1885, the longest
iron span to date, 385m; the Metro rides on top; cars, trucks,
and buses on the bottom; pedestrians on both |

| Us, there |
 |
| More Ribeira |
 |
| Music and dancing on the quay |
 |
Replica Douro river boats...from the vineyards upstream to the
warehouses in Gaia, where the wines are blended and aged |
 |
| Welcome to Porto |
 |
| V. N. de Gaia, that way |
