Porto

"I visit every year; it is absolutely charming."
Feel as if you’ve stepped back in time in Aldeia de Quintandona, a stone village just a 35-minute drive from Porto. Most of the preserved buildings are made from stone shale, granite, and slate, and the town’s 200-year-old chapel is one of its must-see landmarks. Stroll between the narrow alleys, posing for a picture here and there. And don’t leave without breaking for a bite to eat, sampling the local traditional cuisine — the village soup, as well as the ‘bolinhos de amor’ (meaning ‘little love cakes’), is a must!
