We spent the last day of the trip walking from Porto to Foz. Although you can take a street car or bus, it was a nice hour and half walk from Porto to Foz. It was along the Douro river for the most part. Foz is located at the mouth of the Douro river and Atlantic Ocean.

Luckily for us, the walk was much cooler than previous days. The walk also happens to be the start of a Camino that starts in Porto. Since we left in the morning, we were on the path with many pilgrims starting their 14 day journey to Santiago. It has been fun watching all the pilgrims on their journey. We actually were on a cable car in Porto from a gentleman from Beaverton, Oregon who was beginning his trek to Santiago.

Foz was a nice beach town. We walked around until some restaurants opened so we could get lunch before walking the hour and half back to Porto. We found a nice little restaurant with a very nice owner from Argentina. He said there are a lot of Americans living in Foz and even gave us his business card after lunch in case we ever decide to move there.

We headed back to Porto to pack and get ready to travel back to the US. It was nice seeing different places that aren’t as touristy. Some of the recommendations came from AI which has been a helpful new tool in planning travel. For now, we are headed back to the US and back to work soon.
