Maia
Maia is part of the Porto metropolitan area, but preserves old rural centers and religious heritage between urban and industrial areas. The civic center and Lidador Tower offer a contemporary reading; Quinta da Gruta and churches such as Nossa Senhora do Ó help to reveal other local layers. The proximity to the airport facilitates access, without turning Maia into just a place to pass through.
