• The way to the venue

  Come with me through paths very well explored by locals. Depending on the day you choose the tour, be sure I will talk about and point you these main points: Downtown of Porto and magnificent buildings, e.g. Town Hall, São Bento Train Station (tiles and clocks will be shown), a street called Santo António with a beautiful church on the top and two lovers on the top corner of two shops. Let me introduce you a little bit more inside streets "off the beaten track", old parishes and so unexpected stories about popular traditions as São João (the 24th June).

• Fado, Food and Drinks

  Very local spots with a story. I tell you how old is the typical venue, why they start presenting music and of course, you get the information about Fado music rules

  Enjoy the afternoon, sunset hour... I give you suggestions to explore other areas of the city and we say... goodbye!
