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 Porto

Porto scende da ripide colline fino al Douro: città di granito con chiese di azulejos, cantine sul fiume e vino Porto che invecchia di fronte.

Il quartiere della Ribeira costeggia la riva con case colorate, caffè e barche, parte di un centro storico tutelato dall'UNESCO sotto gli archi di ferro del ponte Dom Luís I. Sopra, l'atrio della stazione di São Bento è rivestito di azulejos blu e bianchi, la Torre dei Clérigos si innalza sopra i tetti e la cattedrale, la Sé, sorge sulla sua collina.

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).
