After krenek’s GE challenge featuring the city of S, here is a short SV / Blue Dot challenge which directs you to a city with a somewhat lower latitude.
Good luck!

Good luck! Thanks for posting it. I am away from home. Will try to find it and include in the collection when I return home. I find it difficult to solve F&G puzzles from my phone/iPad.

Well done all! Here are the answers: Porto (also known as Oporto), second largest city in Portugal. 1) Luis I bridge on the river Douro, 41.1399°N, 8.6094°W. Not built by Gustave Eiffel, as I mistakenly suggested. Eiffel built the Maria Pia railway bridge, ~1 km upstream. 2) O Cubo, The Cube, sculpture by José Rodrigues, 41.1408°N, 8.6130°W. 3) the hardest to find of the six, tucked away in a little plaza named Largo da Pena Ventosa, “square of the windy cliff”, 41.1428°N, 8.6131°W. 4) inside the Lello Bookstore, which allegedly inspired the writer of the Harry Potter series, 41.1468°N, 8.6149°W. 5) the not-so-famous San Ildefonso church, 41.1462°N, 8.6066°W. 6) Middle Way, sculpture by Romanian sculptor Bogdan Rata. While on display in an April 2018 Street View capture (41.1585°N, 8.6310°W), it is missing in September 2018. Is it a travelling sculpture?
