    There is no better park in the world! So much life, from ducks to herons, rabbits and geese, tortoise included and amazing vegetation beautiful old trees that remind me of the forest palm trees and colourful flowers. A place to play football, volleyball court and 2 bars, you can spend the whole day doing so many activities you will never finish discovering this gem. I suggest walking towards the beach and enjoy the sunset since the park finishes at the beach. I never get tired of coming here and I do it every day!

    The best place for a festival is by the sea in Porto... great bands, plenty of drink stalls, and good organization at the venue. Everyone was relaxed and in high spirits. A tip: take an Uber; the recommendation to use bus line 500 makes no sense. There weren't enough buses, they were packed, or the service failed completely. But that’s the only downside. I’m definitely going back to the Primavera Sound Festival in Porto next year ♡
