A loveĀ letter to Porto
ā€“

So yeah, I love this city. I've been visiting Porto (& Portugal)Ā regularly for a couple of years now. Every time I visit I fantasize with living there. On March 2018 I decided to go live in Porto for a month. This project is what came out of it. A collection of six illustrations of my fav places. Some kind of love letter to the infinite stairs, the bridges, theĀ azulejos and the amazing attention to detail always present in this beautiful northern city.

Printed on Favini Twill 300g/m2 paper.

Rua Santa Catarina isĀ yet another uphill (or downhill if you are an optimist) street
that serves as the center point for all things commercial in Porto.

Seven. That's the number of bridges that cross
the Douro river. Although by far the most famous is Ponte de D. LuĆ­s.

Surf, beaches and the second biggest port in Portugal.

If you've heard of Porto wine you've heard of Vila Nova de Gaia (or simply Gaia, as the locals call it).
All the famousĀ wineries are here ā€“ just across the river from downtown Porto.
