Leça is15 minutes south of the Porto Airport and was a fishing village in the old days.Is now a port with cobbled streets winding their way through the houses most of which date from the 19th Century. It is now home to a great mix of people-young professionals, families and yet,often you encounter an ageing lady carrying fish on her head just back from the market,the older folk who remember the fishing fleets.Nearby in Matosinhos, the center of Porto social and night life, you can find door to door lots of restaurants from grilled fresh fish to fashion & fancy restaurants,beach cafes,bars and discos.In this area a great side walk are available from here to Ribeira (approx 8Km)-Oporto wine cellars and historical centre.On the left side of Douro you can visit, in Vila Nova de Gaia,the lodges where Port wine is blended & aged and where you can taste the different varieties,or you may choose to take a river cruise along the Douro.Historical cities like Braga,Guimaraes within 50Km range.
