Miragaia – a place of stories and legends – SMT6 (Miragaia)

Miragaia is one of the disctricts that makes part of the so called historical centre. It´s a land of magic legends and a place deep connected with the Douro River, with the naval construction so in each step you find stories, legends, places related with such ancient relation and identity

find more about:

What´s Porto patron saint (and perhaps it´s actually not S.João), where´s Rua dos Banhos or Rua do Ouro – that actually are no longer there any more, the “bloody” legend of “Gaia”, where was the jewish cemitery, what´s the “Bandeirinha da Saúde”, the dolphin that looks like … anything but a dolphin, among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

Matosinhos – A Land of Fishermen and Sailors – SMT MTS

Matosinhos is a city since ever deeply connected to the sea. Known by its very authentic fishermen community, it´s a place with a lot to see and to get to know besides the coast and the beach it self. It´s still surprising how such an interesting place, so near from Porto, is still so much “out” of the touristic circuits.

Find more about:

what´s the real name of the “Anémona”sculpture, what´s a “mamarracho”, what was the former name of Matosinhos, the connection between Matosinhos and the portuguese land of opportunities in the XIX century:Brasil, the legend of the roman man that rided his horse into the sea, among many other relevant aspects of Matosinhos and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

Vila do Conde - A Journey into the portuguese Atlantic soul - SMT VC

Vila do Conde is a very particular city. Situated relatively close from Porto (about 20km) offers a very well preserved historical centre that transports us to the medieval times and to the roots of the Portuguese culture and history.

It´s known for its Fishermen community (the most known one in “Cachinas”), for the Bobbin Lace, for its Clarisse Convent, for the famous writers that chose it to live and to find inspiration.

In the sorroundings, in spite of all the progress of the most recent years, there´s still an interesting balance between rurality and urbanisation. Apart from that, Vila do Conde is situated in the rivermouth of the “Ave” River that represents a fundamental element for the entire region.

Find more about:

What makes the Cachinas fisherman community so particular? What sort of collection “José Régio” was so enthusiastic about? What was the relation of the “Santa Clara” Monastery with the Village. Join us and get to know why as many other relevant aspects of Vila do Conde and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.
