Eco-social
tours
A
city (or even a region) is much more than a "stylized" set
of images or "touristic postcards".
It
is a whole story, a whole essence, a whole breathing you can feel in
every place, on every face, in every corner.
It
is much more than a mere conventional and conventionalized vision -
which is so many times stereotyped - of what Oporto is... "Porto
de Encontros" intents to give the opportunity to know and think,
to feel and smell the city in all its multiple dimensions: cultural,
social and ecological.
The
main goal of these eco-social tours is to present Oporto, or "the
several Oportos" that make Oporto, in all its depth, reality and
essence, without the filter of the "conventional tourism"
or the "deceptive images".
Apart
from the façades, postcards and even the usual places, Oporto is the
port of all secrets, mysteries and encounters.
Eco-social
tour
- how it works
The
Eco-social Tour works in an informal, familiar way and it is not a
conventional touristic visit as it is usually known. There is a high
level of proximity between the tourist guide and the group, thus the
aim is to interact and share. It
is a share of experiences, knowledge and visions about Oporto and all
its complexities.
From
an eco-social point of view, there will be discussed several
questions and subjects connected to the history and current affairs
of the city.
