SMT PTT (Porto Traditional Trade) - A Journey into the Porto most authentic soul
Porto is, since its very beginning, known as a city of trade and of traders. Its universe of traditional shops is very rich and unique, in spite of the fact that many of these unique places have been closing specially due to the city gentrification and “modern” models of consumption. This tour goes throught a relevant circuit where it´s still possible to see some excellent examples of this traditional trade and experience Porto´s most authentic identity.
Find more about:
What´s a “colonial” grossery shop. The importance of Bolhão Market. What are the areas with still more traditional shops among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

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.
