Itinerario

1. Stroll through the historic center, walk through the old streets, see the typical houses and the history that the city counts, with the river and the bridge. For those who like to appreciate the ancient architecture, in Amarante, mainly in the historical center, there are numerous examples of the Romanesque and still many buildings of the Middle Ages, along S. Gonçalo bridge (name of the Dominican friar who will have it built) and enjoy some of the most touristic points of the city: the Church and Convent of São Gonçalo and the Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso Museum. As he walks by the convent, especially at the end of the week, he will notice the stalls of the vendors of the delicious S. Gonçalo sweets who, because of their phallic appearance, are always a source of curiosity and great laughter. The name of the candy also helps … they are popularly called “quilhõezinhos de S. Gonçalo”. Tradition tells us that, at the S. Gonçalo festivities in June, the boys offer the girls they want to conquer. That was the way it used to be, but nowadays it is not like that, according to legend, those who want to get engaged have to touch the tomb of S. Gonçalo, from there they assume the saint as a matchmaker … mainly of the older women

About Oporto

Oporto baja por empinadas colinas hasta el Duero: ciudad de granito, iglesias de azulejos, bodegas junto al río y vino de Oporto al otro lado.

El barrio de la Ribeira bordea la orilla con casas de colores, cafés y barcos, parte de un casco antiguo declarado por la UNESCO bajo los arcos de hierro del puente Dom Luís I. Encima, el vestíbulo de la estación de São Bento está cubierto de azulejos azules y blancos, la Torre de los Clérigos se alza sobre los tejados y la catedral, la Sé, se levanta en su colina.
