This past weekend I travelled to Porto, Portugal; the birthplace and home to Port Wine. Its a beautiful city divided by a river and Filled with Wineries. There are legitimately street signs that point you in the direction of different wineries, all of which offer free tours and tastings, which we capitalized on promptly.
Our Hostel was amazing (Hostel Andarilho), we had a 10 person bedroom to ourselves (we fortunately had a group of ten so no worries about random roomates) and the whole place was decorated with a very cool, modern decor. It also had a courtyard attached to it, which provided the perfect setting for beer pong before we went out at night.
Everything in Portugal is much cheaper than in Madrid, for example we bought a 24 pack of beer, a fifth of smirnoff, and some food and water and our total was 18 euro. I think Europe as a whole wants me to be drunk all the time, because its easier and cheaper to find a bar or somewhere to buy drinks than it is to find food and water. From beer pong with foreigners to booze cruises on the river and from moroccan restaurants to thai food, Porto was a blur well worth remembering.
