The Experience

I didn’t expect the arrivals hall at Porto Airport to smell so much like coffee: maybe it was just my jetlag, but it felt oddly comforting. I spotted my name on a little sign (I always wonder if I’ll recognize myself) and there was Rui, our driver, waving like he’d been waiting for a friend. He spoke English with that gentle Portuguese lilt and helped me wrangle my suitcase into the car before I could even fumble for the handle. The air outside was cool and slightly salty. You can tell the Atlantic isn’t far.

The drive into Porto city center was smoother than I’d hoped: no frantic honking or chaos, just Rui pointing out which bridge we were crossing (I’m still not sure how many there are). He asked if I’d ever tried pastéis de nata and laughed when I said “not yet,” promising I’d find them everywhere. The car smelled faintly of eucalyptus from one of those little hanging things, which somehow made me feel more awake than the flight had. There’s something about arriving in a new place at an odd hour and having someone local take care of the details. It makes you feel less like a lost tourist and more like you belong here, even for a moment.

I kept peeking out at the tiled buildings as we got closer to my hotel. They really do shine blue when the sun hits them right. My transfer from Porto Airport to my hotel only took about twenty-five minutes, but it felt like an introduction rather than just a ride. Rui gave me tips on avoiding touristy restaurants (he said “if there’s a photo menu outside, run!”), which made me laugh. By the time we pulled up outside my hotel door, I felt oddly ready to start exploring, or maybe just find that pastry he mentioned. Either way, having someone local handle things right from pickup made all the difference.
