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.

SMT5
(Vitória B) -
What other victories hides Vitória?
Vitória
forms what can be considered a very significant part of the city
heart. In this area of Vitória you can find several of the city
traditional trade and shops. Also some of the most known monuments
but this side of Vitória is much behind that … there are secrets
and stories hidden in places that most part of the population passes
trough every day without knowing or noticing … this Tour is an
invitation to get to know several of them.
Find more about:
Where´s
the old road connecting Porto and Santiago, the “Fearless General”,
the court of justice standing in the place that used to be a …
surprise!, the bakeries square, what´s a “mamarracho”, the
oldest café in the city that is not the oldest café in the city and
the oldest café in the city that is indeed the oldest café in the
city, where´s the smallest house in Porto, where´s “Jardim de
João Chagas” ? - the question that 99% of the locals will not know
to answer, why Portugal entered on the I World War, among many other
relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and
ecology.
