| A meat and cheese sharing platter at Tabua Rasa |
We went out at about 7.30 pm to find a place to eat nearby. The streets around here were full of people with the same idea. After a few tries, we found a table and friendly staff at
Tabua Rasa. It served platters of cheese and dried meats.
We shared a board with a selection of both, after having a deconstructed gazpacho. We also had a bottle of their best house wine. It was very nice. The waiter wouldn't bring the bill though - we had to go to the counter.

| The large orchestra played inside this dome in the main street |
Then we walked down to
Avenida dos Aliados for another
open air concert. This time there was a full orchestra, the Orquestra Sinfonica conducted by Baldur Broennimann, playing many well known pieces by
Dvorak, Borodin, Elgar, Smetana and others. It was very enjoyable with lots of applause from the audience. It took a while to get back up our hill due to the crowds.
We were lucky to time our visit to Porto with these two free open-air concerts.
