Morning light slides across the Douro and Porto wakes with the smell of baking and the clink of espresso cups. On this walking tour the city is felt underfoot — cobbles that have carried traders since Roman times, alleys that funnel aromas from tascas, and the Douro daring you to lean over the riverside and watch barges slice the water.
