Yep that's exactly the route we're taking, moving to Portugal with our dogs so flying isn't an option, friend is driving us as we don't drive, renting a Volvo estate from Hertz in Sweden and leaving it at Vigo airport :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mum's 70 and doesn't feel comfortable travelling alone so my wife's flying to pick her up and then I'm flying to take her back in September so not really looking forward to flying there and back between Porto and Manchester on consecutive days!

Good for you and good luck to your wife with her Doctorate. Porto is a beautiful city, heavily influenced by the French during their occupation, but very vibrant with plenty of great places to eat and drink. Casagrícola is a great bar in the evening although it is a little out of the centre. I do appreciate you said you would be living out of Porto itself. Once settled I can recommend a trip to the Douro, where all the Port grapes are grown. Just don't go to Nazare in winter. The largest wave ever surfed in the world (at the time, not sure about now), was there, only a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
