Stop 2

Passing by

The former civil parish of São Pedro da Afurada, commonly known as Afurada, is a picturesque fishing village in Vila Nova de Gaia. It is famous for its strong fishing traditions, delicious seafood restaurants, and the vibrant celebrations of its patron saint, Saint Peter, on June 29th. Historically, it was referred to as "Furada" in royal charters dating back to 1288 and 1518, highlighting its importance as a sandbank suited for fishing.
Ponte da Arrabida

Passing by

The Arrábida Bridge was completed in 1963 and is the first bridge spanning the Douro River from the mouth. At the time of its completion, it held the world record for the largest reinforced concrete arch, showcasing impressive engineering. Today, it remains a key road link between Porto and Gaia, offering scenic views of the river below.
Igreja da Confraria das Almas do Corpo Santo de Massarelos

Passing by

This church belongs to the Brotherhood of the Souls of the Holy Body of Massarelos, which, according to tradition, was founded in 1394 by sailors returning from England who had survived a violent storm. Prince Henry the Navigator is said to have been a member of this brotherhood, which played a vital role in Porto’s economic and maritime affairs. Built in 1776 on the site of an earlier temple, the church features a striking tile panel on its rear façade, depicting the Age of Discovery, with a notable image of Prince Henry himself.
Alfandega Porto Congress Centre

Passing by

Constructed in the second half of the 19th century, the Alfândega building was designed by French architect Jean Colson in response to Porto’s booming commercial activity. The construction involved creating a vast quay platform to support the Customs House. In 1888, a railway branch connected it to Campanhã Station, allowing efficient goods transport. Today, the historic building houses a Conference Center and the Museum of Transport and Communications.
Cais De Gaia

Passing by

Cais de Gaia holds immense historical importance for Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, especially regarding Port Wine. It was once the main docking point for Rabelo boats transporting wine barrels from the Douro Valley to cellars in Gaia. Today, the area is home to some of the world’s most famous Port Wine cellars, where visitors can enjoy tastings, guided tours, and cultural events. The waterfront also features lively squares, leisure areas, and frequent musical performances, particularly during the summer months.
Praca Da Ribeira

Passing by

Praça da Ribeira is one of the oldest and most famous squares in Porto, situated on the Douro River’s edge. This medieval square is a bustling hub for tourists, with numerous restaurants, cafés, and terraces offering breathtaking views of the river. As part of Porto’s UNESCO-listed Historic Center, Ribeira is a must-visit destination, and its beauty can be best appreciated from the water.
Dom Luis I Bridge

Passing by

Designed by Belgian engineer Théophile Seyrig and built between 1881 and 1886, the Luís I Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks of Porto. Seyrig had previously collaborated with Gustave Eiffel on the construction of the D. Maria Pia railway bridge. The Luís I Bridge was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 and remains a vital crossing between Porto and Gaia. Its lower deck sits low above the waterline, preventing the passage of larger sailboats.
Farol-Capela de S. Miguel-O-Anjo

Passing by

Built in 1528 at the mouth of the Douro River, the São Miguel o Anjo Lighthouse is one of the oldest surviving lighthouses in Europe and the oldest in Portugal. This remarkable structure is also one of the earliest Renaissance-style buildings in the country. On the opposite bank of the river lies the Douro Estuary Local Nature Reserve, a crucial habitat for various bird species. The reserve is an important stop along the East Atlantic Flyway, a major migratory route for birds traveling between Europe and Africa.
