The Most Beautiful Bookshop in the World! 🌎📚🥰
We were recently up in Porto, a city I absolutely love every time I’m there because I’m always discovering something new! This last trip, we finally visited the Harry-Potter inspired bookstore #LivrariaLello, which is known as the most beautiful bookstore in the world (FWIW, I am in agreement with that statement).
Livraria Lello is where author J.K. Rowling allegedly received inspiration for architectural elements for some of the famous Hogwarts scenery in Harry Potter. JK Rowling lived in Porto for a year and a half as an English teacher, visiting the bookstore on weekends (In 1991, Rowling visited Livraria Lello while working on the first Harry Potter book.).
Honestly, Porto is a city with such magical charm that it’s no wonder that the inspiration of the city's streets and places is visible in the novels. And Livraria Lello is a site to behold - stepping into the bookstore, I felt like I was entering a magical journey into the world of literature and architectural beauty. The bookstore's neo-Gothic façade and ornate interiors, featuring a stunning wooden staircase and stained glass are beyond breathtaking.
Jax was so inspired that he is now reading the Harry Potter series! 🤩🤩🤩 www.amazon.com/dp/1408856778/ref=nosim?tag=nouglyduckl09-20
We also make a pit stop at my very favorite chocolate store in the whole world - Chocolataria Equador! This Portuguese artisan chocolate shop (also in Coimbra) is committed to sustainability, and offers a wide variety of unique chocolate products. I always make sure to stock up on my favorites when I can (white chocolate and passionfruit, milk chocolate with mango, among others)!
Finally, we go to Time Out Market Porto so I can catch up with my friend and classmate Kay. Time Out Market Porto claims to be where you can find the best of the city in one place: the best chefs and Michelin-starred cuisine! For you foodies out there, you will love the food in Porto! It only recently opened (May 2024!) and it is in the south wing of São Bento railway station, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
There’s also a new landmark for the city: a 20-metre-high glass and iron structure, designed by Porto-born architect (and 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize Winner) Eduardo Souto de Moura.
I ordered a dish from Fava Tonka, one of Portugal’s best vegetarian restaurants and it was delicious. The chef is Nuno Castro, the leading chef behind the Grupo do Avesso brand (including Terminal 4450, Esquina do Avesso and Sushiaria) who creates fun and intriguing dishes using mostly plant-based ingredients.
It was too quick a trip but it is always a fun time in Porto!
Enjoy the video! 😍😍

    Almost 6 years that you guys have been in Portugal? You must enjoy it somehow. People keep thinking that this beautiful library Lello inspired JK Rowling but that wasn't the case. She even tweeted in May 21th 2020: “For instance, I never visited this bookshop in Oporto. Never even knew of its existence! It’s beautiful and I wish I *had* visited it, but it has nothing to do with Hogwarts! “ BUT The black capes worn by the students of Coimbra's University inspired her for Harry Potter. (True fact). Portugal had a way bigger impact on literature & movie history than just them Harry Potter black capes. During WWII in 1941, a British naval intelligence officer called Ian Fleming was in Palácio Estoril hotel. At that time Portugal was neutral in WWII & that hotel was "known" as a spy nest (Germans & Brits). Ian was there to gather & report any useful information to British secret services. Few years later, Ian Fleming inspired by that spy game started publishing novels & his first book was Casino Royal. Sir Ian Fleming is just the author of one of the most profitable movie franchise known as James bond 007.

I had no idea about the Bond influence! 🤩I read different reports about Livraria Lello's influence on Harry Potter but one thing is for certain, they are taking advantage of the JK Rowling rumor - Harry Potter is very much on display and there are many sections dedicated just to the books in the store. 😅 And yes... I cannot believe we have been here almost 6 years - an adventure year abroad has turned into us into practically full-fledged Portuguese residents! 🤣😂😍

      Haha! I said sketchy neighborhood... meaning you think this is a sketchy neighborhood but it's not! 😅 Yes humidity can be a problem - we are fans of dehumidifiers and use them frequently! 😍

    I’ve been in Portugal since January 2024. Trying to learn the language but speaking is hard because I freeze up after my first question with a native speaker. Your helpful tips will do wonders. I also would like to have your practice exam. Muito Obrigado!

      I'm so happy to hear! Yes it's intimidating and scary to start speaking in a language that is not your own! I totally understand. A lot of it is just going for it and speaking! Please email at tricia@buenabeauty,com for the practice exam. Boa sorte!

    Hello. Yes I do have an attorney and think it's the best move. The attorney said the process will take 12 to 18 months. Pretty straightforward I guess. All my family is Portuguese and I was born in Canada. Would be cool to be a dual citizen. Been to Portugal 10 plus times over the years and life is so laid back.
