A restaurant that turns into a bar with a guest house above. The space surprises for the duality of feelings that comes from the semi-industrial design reflected in the cold gray walls badly painted, large areas with panels and ceilings with exposed beams, contrasting with the warm comfort light, retro furniture carefully chosen to give a refined look, books that invite you to learn, tables that resemble the homes of our grandparents inviting conversations with ideas. A site with a bohemian personality, marked by intimacy, creativity and modernity.

Housed in a former jail, the Portuguese Photography Center (free) has an unusual setting as well as impressive temporary photography exhibitions. The building dates to the 18th century and held prisoners until the Carnation Revolution in 1974; grills still cover the windows. On the third floor is a hugely impressive collection of cameras from every decade, including some fabulous “espionage” cameras from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s that are disguised as rolls of sweets, cans of Pepsi and packets of Marlboros.

If you rent bike you have to go from Castelo do Queijo to Afurada, first along the beach and then along the river until you’ll reach the 2nd bridge on the Douro River (D. Luis bridge – another of Porto’s icons) and crossing it to visit the Porto Cellars on Cais de Gaia, it’s the views of Porto and the bustling Ribeira waterfront that are the most spectacular feature. Wander along the riverbank that goes all the way to Afurada - a fishing village where you can eat good fish. My favourite restaurant is Taberna de S. Pedro.
To go back you can simply take the boat to the shore of Porto.
