Among Villages — from Quinta da China to Noeda

Route across the former villages of the Campanhã Valley

Event Details

Much like the ring surrounding the city center, in the Campanhã Valley, its villages and hamlets were incorporated into Porto during the 19th century. These settlements can still be seen today, connected by centuries-old paths that preserve the structural link between the settlements—once densely populated and now transformed or in the process of transformation. This route, navigating between the visible and the invisible, the material and the immaterial, through a journey through villages, crossing existing spaces and trails, or following the traces of their memories on the southwestern slope of the Douro hillside, between Quinta da China and the village of Noeda, is an invitation to walk and to perceive the continuities between the rural and the urban that are also part of the contemporary city, enveloping the walker, their body, and senses in the process of creating the path itself. 

Associated Programme

Eastern Walks

The guided walks organised as part of the Caminhos a Oriente project are intended as an exploration of Porto’s Eastern District, undertaken collectively through the act of walking.

During these walks, there will be an opportunity for a discussion halfway through the route, during which participants will be invited to share their impressions of the walk so far.
