Today we traveled from Porto along the Douro river to Lamego (130 km). The weather was quite bad and the road very winding. We wanted to see where the grapes for the Port wine are growing. But we did reach these places yet. The picture shows a lock at the Douro river. A tourist ship just enters the lock. The level difference was about 32 meters. I've never seen such a big lock before.

Today we stayed in Santiago de Compostela and visited the city. The main sightseeing point the cathedral is in renovation and therefore I could not make a nice picture of it. The picture I attach here is made in the courtyard of an old university building. The staute shows Alonso III de Fonseca. He was the founder of the university in Santiago de Compostela in the year 1507.
