U paseo distinto en tuk tuk

July 12, 2025

Una experiencia muy agradable en tuk tuk, ideal para conocer otra cara de Oporto. Aunque el día estaba encapotado y no pudimos disfrutar del todo las vistas desde Serra do Pilar, el recorrido por el Cais de Gaia y especialmente Afurada valieron mucho la pena. Un lugar con alma y mucha autenticidad.

Une très belle découverte en tuk tuk ! Notre guide était charmant et attentif. Nous avons adoré la vue depuis Serra do Pilar et la balade à Afurada, un petit village authentique où la vie de pêcheur continue paisiblement. Un moment hors du temps.
