Porto-Portugal. Porto—with its Berlin-like industrialism and Firenze-eque charm—is home to Café Au Lait, an intimate alternative music spot in the heart of the city's nightclub-laden downtown. Café Au Lait is known as Porto's landmark venue for international and local musicians and DJs alike, hosting harmony-drenched indie rock, soulful electronica, house and tropicalia acts on any given night
{"Image ImageDescription": "Ribeira means in Portuguese \"minor river\" or a river with little flow of water. It is also a word for the oldest part of Oporto, a place where the city was born and developed due to trade in the river mouth.\r\rThe district was the scene of fights and sieges. When Napoleon invaded Portugal in the beginning of the XIX century, the stampede of the fleeing population over an old bridge, located where nowadays D. Luis bridge is, made it to collapse, causing many deaths by drowning.\rTwo decades later, civil wars between absolutists and liberals caused a lot of destruction here. Oporto was defending the liberal cause, while Lisbon was absolutist. The center of Porto was under siege in 1832-1833 and many of Ribeira's sites were damaged by war.\r\rNowadays, Ribeira is a tourist area with many bars, touristy restaurants and terraces, particularly in its main square, Pra\u8ecb da Ribeira (picture)\r\rIt is by the river Douro, close to the lower deck of D. Luis bridge and to the center of Gaia. Thanks to Soulfisher for the text. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/a1735/44f55/"}
