According to the city's website, this artwork consists of a steel ring, poles, cable, and a fiber net, and it has a diameter of 42 meters. The design looks like a net and honors the city's history of fishing and industry. I saw this artwork when I was on vacation. It looked huge, and it slightly moved and changed color as the wind blew. It was not the most stunning piece of art, but it was interesting to look at for a minute.

The structure resembles a net at certain angles, a love letter to the town's fishing culture. The support beams are striped red and white to evoke Porto's industrial past. It hangs in the air and changes shapes and colors depending which way/from where you see it. A Anémona also sways and moves with the wind, actually physically changing its structural shape periodically, and living up to its name, She Changes. This makes it a super neat piece of art that can mean different things to each viewer, which to me is the best kind of art. You definitely can't miss this gigantic piece of public art in Porto, but don't just take a passing glance - really sit and watch this breathing, living structure do its thing!

It's just off the water so if you wish to eat a little more casual than the restaurants along the river. I think the prices are a little elevated because they are in the touristy area along the Douro but I think less than the more formal sit down restaurants in the surrounding area. There's a good chance you'll find something on your list but if you're looking for an item from a specific restaurant then you probably won't find it here.

We stopped by two beautiful vineyards for delicious wine tastings (Quinta Dos Castelares and Quinta Santa Julia) with a peaceful boat ride on the Douro River in between. The whole day lasted 9am to 6pm. Luis and Pedro did a wonderful job and made the trip seamless and memorable. They mentioned that they partner with different vineyards daily, so you could get other wonderful options for wine if you go on the tour with them. Overall, highly recommend the experience and thank you for a great trip!
