Concrete tower. This was just beyond the Ponte de São João. It looks a bit like an aircraft control tower but there wasn’t an airport nearby:-
Multi-chimneyed building:-
River bank Church. Note tiles on gable end facing the river:-
River boats, buildings and Igreja de Santa Clara Church on hill crest:-
Igreja de Santa Clara Church on centre-left of photo:-
Port warehouses and old style boats:

Beyond the Arrábida Bridge before we had to turn back we got a view of the mouth of the river Douro as it meets the Atlantic:-
