Porto Tour - North Atlantic
Starting at Vila Chã (Vila do Conde), there is a geological fracture at the beach, ruins of an ancient small village (not much to see), the great about the place is the mix of all, for me mystical and magical place with great views, a little chapel, many rocks, beach and the strong smell of the sea.
From there if the weather is good, we go on foot by the beach to Angeiras (Matosinhos) a fish village, not particularly beautiful but with great fish and friendly people, there we could eat some of the local fish, on a small typical restaurant, near the nets and boats.
Now by car we continue by the shore, and pay a visit to Boa Nova (Matosinhos), A chapel on the rocks with great view, side by side with a famous house also on the rocks by Siza Vieira, most famous Portuguese architect, with origin at Porto, also a nice Lighthouse, and the nearby is clean, modern, and ......., a very ugly refinery, yes it's true, makes the place different, very.
Side to Boa Nova is the city of Matosinhos a city very near Porto, there we could visit the beach with a net sculpture, an entry to the Porto city park, interesting transparent building, with many esplanades.
We enter at Porto, where we can see the castle of cheese, and visit all the shore of foz the premium neighborhood of Porto and take some photos near the pergula.
And finish at the foz of douro river, from there I can take you to downtown Porto, because is very near.

West City Porto Tour
This wide Avenue (dos Aliados) is one of the central points of Porto. The wide boulevard is surrounded by impressive Neoclassical buildings. At the head
of this Avenue is the Camara Municipal (Town Hall) and at its southern end is the Praca da Liberdade. Streets leading off the Avenue offer some of Porto
main shopping streets.
To the South East of the Avenue is the Estacao de Sao Bento - Porto main train station, which is worth visiting to view the 20,000
azulejos.
Close to the Avenida dos Aliados, there’s Torre dos Clérigos, a notable tower boasting exceptional views, prominent monument and the symbol of Porto
dating back to the 18th century. Not far Lello bookshop with a neo-gothic façade, and Carmo church (has a splendid architecture).
