PORTO, PORTUGAL

My daughter Sofia at the side of the sculpture "O Dragão" created by the Portuguese sculptor Aureliano de Aguiar. The sculpture is placed in front at the "Teatro Rivoli", at the Square D. João I, in Porto, Portugal. Minha filha Sofia ao lado da escultura "O Dragão" criada pelo escultor português Aureliano de Aguiar. A escultura está localizada em frente ao "Teatro Rivoli", na Praça D.

The citizens must love this city because it's absolutely immaculate, as though a cleaning crew had just washed all the windows and walls and hoovered the streets and sidewalks.
