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.
