House da Fontinha / Carlos Castanheira

I know the city of Porto well. I thought I did. I went to Fontinha, right in the center of Porto, and entered a Quintinha with a bucolic air as if it were in the middle of the countryside, but protected by high walls. There was already a house there, the parents' house. With a tower that allowed you to leave the Quinta and see all the urbanity of Porto, even to Foz, through the Atlantic.
