A welcome harbinger of spring in the city of Porto

Citywide Spring celebration of the tulip bloom has kicked off in Porto, as 100 thousand tulips are in full bloom all over the city.

An amazing diversity of tulip creations gave birth to an infinity of varieties as the municipal nursery has produced around 100 thousand variety of tulips in the 2018/2019 season, from Dutch origin bulbs.
