Overview

From Porto, we give you the opportunity to discover two cities in northern Portugal adored by many:

We leave Porto and after 1 hour of travel, you will know Aveiro “little Venice” with its canals that divide the city into two parts. We will take a guided tour admiring its architecture, discovering the old fishermen's houses and the historic buildings of the city.

Next, we will take a 45-minute ride aboard one of the traditional “Moliceiros” boats, similar in design to Venetian gondolas. After this walk, we will have free time to visit the city.

We will then leave Aveiro and head towards Costa Nova, one of the most spectacular beaches in Portugal, known for the iconic striped houses that line the bay.

Afterwards, we will go to visit the capelha do senhor da Pedra, photo moment! This chapel on the seashore will amaze you. Finally, we will head to Porto with unforgettable memories, book now!

Capela do Senhor da Pedra
  • 30m
This picturesque 17th century chapel is located on the rocks of the beach of the same name, in Vila Nova de Gaia. Its privileged location on the granite means that it stands defiantly facing the Atlantic despite not reaching 10 metres in height. Built on a hexagonal floor plan in 1686 in a place of pagan worship, it stands out for its main altar with baroque carvings and the two side altarpieces that surround the crucified Christ. The access staircase is 150 metres from the promenade, so it is necessary to cross the sand and stones to reach it. This means that, at high tide, it is impossible to walk there, as it is surrounded by the sea.
