It’s Day 60 of my 100-day trip to Europe, and I’m in Porto — Portugal’s “second city”: https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/portugal/porto.

Porto is real. Its economy isn’t driven by tourism, but by hard work, good governance, and a great urban vision. Walk with me (past a couple using my Rick Steves Portugal guidebook — always a happy sight) through what used to be a parking lot and is now a romantic olive grove in the middle of Portugal’s second city.
