Itinerary
We will meet at the meeting point with our guide. After getting to know each other, we will head to Aveiro, Costa Nova and the Capelha do Senhor da Pedra. Along the way, our guide will tell you about Portuguese culture and history.
Once in Aveiro, we will enjoy a guided tour with our guide, who will show us all the corners of Aveiro and explain in detail all the history of the place.
Then, we will enjoy a ride on the traditional boat called “moliceiro”. Our local guide on board will show us the Ria de Aveiro, its salt pans and all its history.
After the visit and the boat ride, we will enjoy free time to enjoy the city and the gastronomy on our own.
Our next stop is Costa Nova, discover the typical colorful houses and visit one of the most emblematic beaches of Portugal.
This picturesque 17th century chapel is located on the rocks of the beach of the same name, in Vila Nova de Gaia. Its privileged location on the granite makes it stand defiantly facing the Atlantic despite not reaching 10 meters in height. Built on a hexagonal plan in 1686 in a place of pagan cults, it stands out for its main altar with baroque carvings and the two side altarpieces surrounding Christ crucified. The access stairway is 150 meters from the promenade, so it is necessary to cross the sand and stones to reach it. This means that, at high tide, it is impossible to reach it on foot, as it is surrounded by the sea.

About Porto
Porto tumbles down steep hills to the Douro River, a granite city of tiled churches, riverside cellars and port wine aged across the water.
The Ribeira district lines the riverbank with colourful houses, cafés and boats, part of a UNESCO-listed old centre beneath the iron arches of the Dom Luís I Bridge. Above it, the São Bento station hall is covered in blue-and-white azulejo tiles, the Clérigos Tower rises above the rooftops, and the Sé cathedral stands on its hill.
Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
