Porto, in its own way.

Porto, in its own way.

A pending visit that we had a lot of enthusiasm to do was the Portuguese city of Porto. For any fan or connoisseur of bus models, it's like traveling in a time machine or enjoying a laugh-filled cigar.

You can encounter many buses in service from over 25 years old, some of which are over 30 and have various "injertos." These are mostly buses from the Resende company to which they change the front for another model's; therefore, we can see the sides and back of a well-known model with the front of another model, which is very unusual and curious to see.

In the first photo we can admire a Mercedes O305 with over 32 years of service behind it and in excellent conservation state serving line 32 of Espirito Santo-Autocarros de Gaia, exiting from the Parque das Camelias bus terminal.

In the second photo we can see a graft, a midibus MAN with a Setra front of Series 300 in front of the Metro station at Mercado, in Matosinhos.
