Si quieres ir al auténtico barrio marinero portugués donde existe el bar de toda la vida donde echarte una cerveza y ver cómo los jubilados hablan de fútbol y más.....este es el lugar. más auténtico no puede ser. El servicio fue perfecto y muy amables con nosotros.

This small bar has pavement seating in a beautiful street. Too full after eating so went for huge G & T for 5€. Wonderful part of Porto to visit. Bars, restaurants and local residents all spill onto the communal pavements. Super atmosphere. So good we became trapped for drink after drink. Found out I could speak French with table next to us!
