Porto
Porto is a charming city, located on the slopes of the Douro River, already close to its mouth. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO thanks to its beautiful monuments and historic buildings.
Our Surf Camp is located in the district of Porto, south of the bank of the Douro River and next to the wonderful beaches of Gaia. This district is full of beautiful towns and prosperous cities. Along the coast, we are able to surf along the entire coast to the seaside town of Espinho, taste the tasty fish of Matosinhos or spend some relaxing moments in the Gaia Cabedelo, which has the best sunsets in the city.
