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

In this case we go trough 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 where 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.

Meeting point for The unkown secrets of the centre - SMT3 (Sé B):

In front of Sto Ildefonso Church, at Batalha Square

Where Porto meets the Atlantic – SMT11 (Foz do Douro)

Foz do Douro is a very special district in Porto. Naturally is the place where the Douro River meets the Atlantic. Therefore it has been since centuries ago a land of fisherman and sailors, developping its very unique identitiy and personality.

Find more about:

Where´s one of the first Renascent chappels in Portugal. One of the most beautiful sanitary houses in Portugal. Where the fountain from the desactivated S.Francisco was taken to, among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

Slow Motion Tours

Slow Motion Tours developes alternative touristic tours and programms with the aim of providing a different way to get to know and get involved into the local realities. Our main focus is in allowing our participants to get to know the local reality in a deep and significant way, like in what related to social, ecological and cultural aspects.

Slow Motion Tours is an independent cultural project based on the development of alternative tourism and eco-social education.

Note: Slow Motion Tours is a project with a really informal nature, so it’s an activity that it is not covered by any type of insurance, the participants are responsible for them own safety and health. The contribution is destined to support the various organization costs and to support the development of the project it self, as the social partners as well.

Spread the word: we appreciate all the possible and positive (of course) share of our project trough your contacts, it´s our most precious way of “publicity”, Muito obrigado ;O)
