SMT4 (Vitória) - What victories celebrates Vitória? Vitória history is deeply connected with the history of the last jewish ghetto in Porto but there are many other elements of historical and social interest. Vitória is very deeply into the medieval art of Porto so its streets are so rich in terms of traditional trade and traces of a sort of recent and not so recent past. Find more about: Where was the last jewish neighbourhood in Porto. The places and last traces of the “Fernandina” wall. A less known but no less important saint called “S.Roque”. What centenary shops you can still find in Vitória among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology. Meeting point for SMT4 (Vitória) - What victories celebrates Vitória? at Casa da Horta https://casadahorta.weebly.com/contact.html

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.
