and the surroundings. We flew from Brasilia to Salvador Airport, taking less than two hours and checked into our hotel, Pousada do Boqoeirao, which we had booked before departure. This is an attractive Pousada or guesthouse, which was originally two colonial houses, just ten minutes walk from historical quarter of Pelourinho. Our room had a fantastic large balcony/roof-terrace with stunning views of Salvador, perfect for an aperitif while watching the sunset.
Pelourinho ("Centro Historico")
We foolishly booked a half day historical tour, which we could easily have done ourselves with the guidebook, on foot, or with an occasional taxi, but perhaps it was more relaxing having history force-fed to us. First we had a driving tour of the city then a walking tour, with a guide, of the historical centre, Pelourinho. This area was restored to its former glory ...

Hiring the car gave us access to a couple of sandy beaches although one was man-made and a bit grotty.

In September we had a great holiday in North Portugal and I wanted to tell you about my favourite hotel.
We booked into the Pestana Porto for 4 nights and it was a very enjoyable stay. My Aunt had recommended Oporto so after a search on Tripadvisor for hotels there, we booked a room with a river view.
Location
The Pestana Porto is ideally situated for tourists. It looks out onto the river Douro and the riverside cafes. Nearby are old, narrow quaint streets with bars and restaurants.

A walk across the bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia takes you straight into the old part of the town and you can easily walk to many of the famous port houses.
