SMT4 (Vitória A) - What victories celebrates Vitória?

Vitória history is deeply connected with the history of the last jewish ghetto in Porto but there are many other elements of historical and social interest. Vitória is very deeply into the medieval art of Porto so its streets are so rich in terms of traditional trade and traces of a sort of recent and not so recent past.

Find more about:

Where was the last jewish neighbourhood in Porto. The places and last traces of the “Fernandina” wall. A less known but no less important saint called “S.Roque”. What centenary shops you can still find in Vitória among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT Douro (Douro River) - Along the Douro river bank secrets, legends and history

The Douro River can be, in many aspects, be considered like the “blood” running in the veins of Porto. Along history it has always been a very essential element and presence in Porto culture, economy, ecology and sociology. Also along many centuries Porto´s main way of communication with the Portugal north region but also the starting point for longer dangerous trips between Porto and other nations, mostly the main trading centers.

This tour is an opportunity to go through Douro right bank of Porto, eventually from Ribeira up to Foz with a different and deeper perspective. Going through different social, ecological but also historical aspects.

Find more about:

What are the main ecological problems of the Douro River. Its past as the Porto´s main communication way. Some of the most relevant events that here took place. Some of the most known important persons that were, one way or the other, connected with the Douro among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT VLG (Valongo) - From the village of the bread and the biscuit to one of the main Porto suburbs

Valongo in spite of the fact that is situated very near Porto is, at the same time, a really not that well known place for so many people.

Also that many people still ignore the fascinating and so rich past of Valongo as one of the norths main bread and biscuit production centre. Also a land of watermills and millers (Terra de Moinhos e de Moleiros).

In the most recent years with the industrialisation of those sectors a very significant part of the importance of those traditional sectors decreased but fortunately didn´t disappear at all. And that´s part of the history that we aim to reveal in this Tour.

Besides of that, in the most recent decades, with the (cahotic) urbanistic expansion that happened in the Porto Region Valongo was one of the places in which a massive construction took place, in many cases with not so that good urbanistic results.

In spite of that it´s still a city where we can actually still find several relevant rural elements and even culture. Lets go together explore them.

It´s also important to mention that around Valongo we can still walk and visit some sites with Natural interest in value.

Find more about:

What circumstances made of Valongo such an important bakery centre? What´s the connections between Porto and Valongo? What´s the context in which most part of the Portuguese suburbs were created? What important historical events took place in Valongo? Join us and get to know “why”? Along with many other relevant aspects of Valongo and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT3 (Sé B) - The unkown secrets of the centre

In this case we go trought a less known, but not less interesting, area of Sé, closer to the oriental and somehow less touristic side of the city and even of the historical centre.

Find more about:

The first garden in the history of Porto. The public library that has been a war hospital and a convent. What were the “Brasileiros de Torna Viagem” and why they were so relevant in the history of Porto and Portugal. A very special neighborhood among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT2 (Sé A) - A Porto already from the “Iron Age”

Sé do Porto area can be, in several aspects, together with S.Nicolau, considered the place where Porto was actually born, and there we can find some of the oldest archeological findinds in concern to the city history. Therefore it´s just sort of impossible to get to know about Porto identitity without “diving” in the many narrow streets and secrets from Sé do Porto.

Find more about: Why was the romanic style so important in the beginning of the portuguese nationality. The fleet going on the cruzades to Jerusalém that was conviced to stop in Lisbon to take the city from the moors. A Porto from the iron age among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT RR (Revolutions) - A Revolutionary Porto , Rebels and Revolutions

All along Portuguese History, Porto has been a centre for several of the intellectual movements and also revolutionary ideals. Many times much more than ideals but actually events. Nowadays many people still don´t have the idea of some of the most relevant historical events that actually took place, so many times, in places where we pass so frequently without realising all the stories and history behind them.

So in this Tour we aim to evoke some several of them while, at the same time, respecting and honoring those that contribute to fight for a better society.


Find more about:

The so relevant 31th of January of 1891. The still so unknown 2th of February of 1927. The size of Porto. What remains can we still find from this several revolts? The memory of the working class movement. The different crafts that exhisted.

Among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT1 (S.Nicolau) - Around the Douro River and its secrets

S.Nicolau is for sure one of the most ancient and historical districts from Porto historical centre. The narrow and some of the medieval streets from S.Nicolau tell a lot about Porto identity, developed in a very deep connection with the Douro River.

Find more about: The story behind the last “gate” from the “Fernandina” Wall, who was the local hero “Deocleciano Monteiro”? the disaster of “Ponte das Barcas”, the many stories hidden in the waters of the “Douro River”, why Porto was so essential as a … one of the main “activities” that Infante D.Henrique promoted, the coolest place in town … among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.
