Waking up in a new place — without making distinctions between what is mine or what is yours, what is from here or from somewhere else — is how it goes in Porto and northern Portugal.
That town, estate, chalet, boarding house, or apartment. The indulgent comfort of the best hotels and the raw emotion of the most extraordinary campsites. All of this is worth a try.
