São Pedro da Afurada, a charming fishing village in Vila Nova de Gaia, offers a glimpse into Portugal’s maritime heritage. Its whitewashed houses, colourful boats, and open-air seafood grills along the Douro River create a lively yet authentic atmosphere. Strolling through its narrow streets, visitors can experience the warmth of the local fishing community.

Nature lovers can explore the Afurada Walkways for scenic river views or visit the Reserva Natural do Estuário do Douro for birdwatching. The village’s public washing house, where locals still do laundry by hand, adds to its unique charm. Whether enjoying fresh seafood or soaking in the riverside ambience, Afurada is a hidden gem worth visiting.

This 2 bedroom place was beautiful. Everything was clean. It was very quiet despite being on a busy road. It was the perfect stay in Porto. Close to a mall and bus stop. Never had any issues getting transportation to the city center of Porto either. The hosts were there to check us in and showed us around. They were nice and the place was nice.
