EyeEm Porto in Porto by Manuela Matos Monteiro on EyeEm

Here is the recap by Manuela:

On Sunday, the 12th at 10:00 we held the first EyeEm Porto Meetup 1 that gathered 45 photographers armed with smartphones and cameras. The weather was glorious and victory the day before of the football team of Porto gave us a city more joyful than usual.

We left Praça Ribeira, the north bank of river Douro and began our stroll. We passed through a tunnel and we got nice pics. We were lucky because there was not traffic in the bridge that crosses the river: the police interrupt the movement of cars because there was a sporting event! On the south bank we took pictures of the city with the blue sky on the background; the tourists, the boats, the river and the bridges offered a lot of opportunities to get good pics.

At 13:00 we gathered at a restaurante with the river just there: we drank beer and ate the tastefull gastronomy of the reagion. With Port Wine we made “cheers” to EyeEm! It was a great opportunity to change knowledges and tips about eyeem platform! The experience was so pleasant that we decided to organize another EyeEm Meetup in june! See you soon!
