This is the Moru Garden, known as a sunset spot in Porto. When I went there, I saw that Europeans came a few hours before sunset and enjoyed their leisure time until sunset! Maybe because the weather was cool, there were a lot of people..! The 6th or 7th is a monastery next to the Moru Garden, which is another sunset spot. ㅎㅎ #sunset spot #Porto travel
