Bring the board to Porto

I have connected "Matosinhos Beach" with a lot of memories from university. I used to do bodyboarding with friends here... What a relaxing time by the sea!

"Rua 31 de Janeiro" hasn't been gentrified like the rest of Porto. On this street it's still possible to see old houses and the great view to Clerigos...

Molhe Lighthouse

Inhale and exhale quietness

The "Molhe Lighthouse" Porto is one of my favourite spots to visit on a walk. I love to take a seat on the edge and just hear the sea and the fishermen...
