We will meet at the specified time in front of the Capilla del Pilar, in central Santiago, before heading to Porto.

Upon arrival, we will start our tour by exploring the historic center and strolling around the vicinity of the medieval cathedral while our guide shares its history.

Next, we will visit the nearby station of Sao Bento to admire its Azulejo tile decoration, with a focus on those in the main foyer that depict various episodes from the city's history.
