Hello traveling friends! Today I visited one of the most beautiful gardens in Portugal, it is the gardens of the Palacio de Cristal that were inaugurated in 1860, it is an icon of the natural beauty that surrounds the Douro River that divides Porto and Gaia, I had visited Porto a few times but had never entered in the gardens so today I have prepared a very beautiful and natural post for you.🚩🧭🌏 # Hola amigos viajeros! hoy visite uno de los jardines mas bonitos de Portugal se trata de los jardines del Palacio de Cristal que fueron inagurados en 1860 es icono de la belleza natural que rodea el Rio Douro que divide Porto y Gaia, habia visitado Porto algunas veces pero nunca habia entrado en los jardines por tanto hoy te tengo preparado un post muy bonito y natural.⛲⛲

I do not regret having visited the gardens because it was a beautiful experience with friends, the park offers you many interesting things from recreational activities to taking some photos of the sunset on the Douro River, I think the best season will depend on you but in winter Normally in Porto it rains a lot, so I think an excellent visit would be in summer, and it's not too hot! You must be forewarned because there is no private parking, you must park outside and have coins with you because you pay an average of 5 euros for a few hours!🚩🧭🌏

Yo no me arrepiento de haber visitado los jardines porque fue una hermosa experiencia entre amigos, el parque te ofrece muchas cosas interesante desde realizar actividades recreativas hasta tomar algunas fotos del atardecer en el Rio Douro, la mejor temporada creo que dependera de ti pero en invierno normalmente en Porto llueve mucho por lo que creo que una excelente visita seria en verano ademas no es muy caliente! debes estar prevenido porque estacionamiento privado no tiene, debes aparcar afuera y tener monedas contigo porque pagas en promedio 5 euros unas horas!🌳🚙🌍

As I mentioned before, the gardens of the Crystal Palace are located in the center of Porto and have a beautiful view of both the river and the Atlantic. When the Crystal Palace was built, a German architect named: "Émile David" was the one who gave life to This romantic style architecture, later the palace was replaced by: "the mota pavilion"🧠🌍💖 #

Como lo mencionaba anteriormente los jardines del palacio de cristal estan ubicados en el centro de Porto y tienen una hermosa vista tanto al rio como el atlantico, cuando fue construido el palacio de cristal un arquitecto aleman llamado: "Émile David" fue quien dio vida a esta arquitectura de estilo romantica, posteriormente el palacio fue sustituido por: "el pabellon mota"📚🌍

The gardens of the palace were built based on each season of the year, we can find many fountains, a great diversity of flowers and many curious statues. If we are going to visit the garden, another option is to do it at the time of flowering of the roses, because there is a space where many specimens of all colors were planted, it is a spectacle!😁🌷🌼🌻

Los jardines del palacio fueron construidos en base a cada estacion del año, podemos encontrarnos muchas fuentes, una gran diversidad de flores y muchas estatuas curiosas, si vamos a visitar el jardin otra opcion es hacerlo en epoca de florescimiento de las rosas, porque hay un espacio donde se sembraron muchos ejemplares de todos los colores, es un espectaculo!🌳🌴🌻🌺

I think it would be selfish of me not to share this experience with you, here you can spend a pleasant afternoon enjoying nature and the landscape, if you are hungry then don't worry because inside the park there is a restaurant that has a Michelin star and I read that its dishes are great! One option you have is to stay in a hotel on the main street in front of the Douro River. You can pay about 70 euros per night and walk all around, the park will be one of your first visits!🌻🌴🌳

Creo que seria egoista de mi parte no compartir esta experiencia contigo, aqui puedes pasar una tarde agradable disfrutando de la naturaleza y del paisaje, si tienes hambre entonces no te preocupes porque dentro del parque hay un restaurante que tiene una estrella michelin y lei que sus platos son buenisimos! una opcion que tienes es quedarte en un hotel en la calle principal frente al Rio Douro puedes pagar unos 70euros por noche y caminar por todos los alrededores, el parque sera una de tus primeras visitas!😁🦆⛲

I read that you can book a guided tour in a travel agency, and thus you can go through the entire park, which is, I would say, a kilometer of travel, it can take you about two hours to know all its spaces along with the history of each architecture! my favorite part?? It is when we arrive at some walls and a viewpoint, here you have the best view of the bridges and the river!😁🌷🌍

Lei que puedes marcar en una agencia de viajes una visita guiada, y asi recorres el parque por completo que son diria como un kilometro de recorrido, puede llevarte unas dos horas conocer todos sus espacios junto con la historia de cada arquitectura! mi parte favorita?? es cuando llegamos a unas murallas y un mirador, aqui tienes la mejor vista de los puentes y rio!🚩🌻🌴

What a beautiful view, right? This is one of the best panoramic views of the center of Porto, better than this you will hardly get because you are in one of the highest points of the city center, you can see a "symbolic" boat where previously the barrels of wine were transported by various regions of the country!🌻🧭🌏

Que bonita vista no? esta es una de las mejores vistas panoramicas del centro de Porto, mejor que esto dificilmente conseguiras porque estas en uno de los puntos mas altos del centro de la ciudad, puedes ver un barco "simbolico" por donde anteriormente se transportaban los barriles de vino por varias regiones del pais!🌊🌊

The palace itself is nothing special! I think that as you can see its main attraction is the Romanesque museum and of course its extensive gardens, when the palace was built the architect was inspired by "the crystal palace in London" that actually its roof is completely made of glass and there is a small viewpoint !🤔🤔

El palacio en si no tiene nada de especial! creo que como puedes ver su atraccion principal es el museo romanico y claro sus extensos jardines, cuando fue construido el palacio el arquitecto se inspiro "en el palacio de cristal de londres" que realidad su techo esta completamente construido con vidrio y hay un pequeño mirador!😮🧭🌏
