Thank you all for the lovely feedback ✨ so far.

Thank you all for the lovely feedback ✨ so far. It feels so good to finally share 'The 500 Hidden Secrets of Porto' with you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday we received a message from a Porto friend who has already purchased a copy of the book (so cool!). She said "It's really good. You went into the extra details. There are so many things I'm curious to see... and to eat". 👌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From the start we wanted ‘The 500 Hidden Secrets of Porto’ to appeal to locals as much as visitors. One thing we’d like to highlight - while we have covered some of the lesser-known spots of Porto, we have also mentioned some spots that are not so secret anymore - but hopefully, you will learn something new about that spot that you never knew.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy the weekend everyone! 😎

OUR BOOK IS OUT NOW! 📖✨ 📣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are over the moon to announce that our book ‘The 500 Hidden Secrets of Porto' by JO&SO is out now. You can order it online (link in bio) or find it on the shelves of stores worldwide. 🌍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A huge thanks to our partners Henrique and Mo for their amazing patience and advice during the making of this book. You two are 💛💛 Also, a BIG OBRIGADA to our family and friends for all of their invaluable tips, in particular our Mum, Patrícia, Piki, Juan, Mike and Carol. Last but not least, we are super grateful to our publishers Luster and our editor Dettie for the opportunity to share The 500 Hidden Secrets of Porto with the world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In March 2020, as we were finalising the photography and writing of the book, the Covid-19 pandemic struck the world. We then agreed with our publishers that it was best to delay the release date.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, a few of the places that we had originally written about haven't been able to survive the lockdowns. We have fully revised the book just now before going to print, and we’re not going to lie - it’s been quite emotional re-reading it all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We hope that the immense love and dedication that has been put into this guide will, in some small way, help Porto 💙 come back to the best version of itself soon.

If you get a copy we would love it if you share a photo with it tagging us and let us know where you are from. It would be really cool to know where the book is going (even if you’re also from Porto)! 🤗

Recently we were travelling in-between different towns in the Algarve and it happened that we needed a place to stay in Faro. That was when we came across @themodernistfaro
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What used to be known to locals as ‘the ugliest building in Faro’ has been brought back to life as a three-storey building with six apartments available to rent. Inspired by the 1970s everything has been impeccably renovated in full respect of its original Mid-Century Modern Design.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each apartment comes with a kitchenette, a private balcony, a shared garden patio and a rooftop to sunbathe and enjoy panoramic views of Faro (outdoor shower included).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A truly unique place to stay in Faro. 😎
