A rewarding road-route stop for the monastery, shipbuilding heritage and the Ave estuary.

Vila do Conde

Vila do Conde develops next to the mouth of the Ave. The Monastery of Santa Clara, the aqueduct, the Nau Quinhentista and the Alfândega Régia tell the religious and maritime history; the beaches extend the city to the north and south. The pedestrian visit to the center does not replace the assessment of sea conditions when it includes the coast. An editorial introduction to the 777 km circuit that connects Minho, Trás-os-Montes, Douro and Porto.
