SMT VC (Vila do Conde) - A Journey into the portuguese Atlantic soul 
Vila do Conde is a very particular city. Situated relatively close to Porto (about 20km) offers a very well preserved historical centre that transports us to the medieval times and to the roots of Portuguese culture and history. 
It´s known for its Fishermen community (the most known one in “Cachinas”), for the Ship Construction Industry (or better say, art?) for the Bobbin Lace, for its Clarisse Convent, for the famous writers that chose it to live and there to find inspiration. 
In the surroundings, in spite of all the progress of the most recent years, there´s still an interesting balance between rurality and urbanisation. Apart from that, Vila do Conde is situated in the rivermouth of the “Ave” River that represents a fundamental element for the entire region. 
Find more about: 
What makes the Cachinas fisherman community so particular? What sort of collection “José Régio” was so enthusiastic about? What was the relation of the “Santa Clara” Monastery with the Village. Join us and get to know why as many other relevant aspects of Vila do Conde and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.
