This time around we're heading to the city's northern limit (not yet the northernmost one, mind you!). This is also one of the most charming most nuanced parts of Porto, where many little hamlets made up what is today Paranhos. Let's explore together, for us, it's also a very special tour, as it brings a sense of homecoming, as it is a circuit that holds many personal memories for us :)As a sense of place tour, rather than something laden with commentary, where we trace the layout, the history, the architecture, the sprawl of the city and what being a Portonian across the centuries, here the narrative is different, it's the streets themselves that are in the limelight, well, better said, the lanes and alleys that make the true underbelly of Porto. Though not pedestrianized, they eschew most vehicle traffic, thus making a very pleasant domestic experience, lined by small lots and all sorts of kinks and nooks, some to be expected others not at all. Although the turning of phrase might be interpreted in manifold ways, this is Porto at its most intimate (urban) experience.
Furthermore, the astonishing factor and the most appealing one at the same time, is that these places are located right in the centre of the city. Will you accept the challenge of trekking, wandering around some of the most charming places of the city under the quietness of a Sunday of morning?
