August 21, 2025,Zweiter Rundgang durch Porto

Rest days are running days. Today I simply wanted to see the sea. Since I didn't want to run back along the river, I headed back through urban areas. Like every city, Porto has its unsightly corners. There are also many construction sites here, which, like in other larger cities, are unavoidable. However, today's walk was worth it.
