The dust from the Sahara desert has painted the Portugal sky orange. It originates in North Africa and has to do with the intensification and approach of the Célia storm that ended up raising dust into the atmosphere that now ends up reaching mainland Portugal.

The Monastery of Serra do Pilar is situated on an outcrop overlooking the Dom Luís I Bridge and the historic centre of Porto. Together with these locations, the monastery was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The monastery is notable for its church and cloister, both of which are circular. Please watch –

The best viewpoint of the city is from Jardim do Morro. It is on the other side of the river, in Vila Nova de Gaia and it is possible to get by crossing the top-deck of the bridge, Luis I, or by underground (yellow line, towards the station, Santo Ovídio, Jardim do Morro). Please watch
