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.

SMT6 (Miragaia) - A place of  stories and legends  
Miragaia is one of the areas that makes part of the so-called Porto Historical Centre. It´s a land of magic legends and a place deeply connected with the Douro River, with the naval construction so in each step you find stories, legends, places related with such ancient relation and identity 
Find  more about: 
What´s Porto patron saint (and perhaps it´s actually not S.João), where´s (or was) Rua dos Banhos or Rua do Ouro - that actually don´t longer exist, the “bloody” legend of “Gaia”, where was the jewish cemetery, what´s the “Bandeirinha da Saúde”, the dolphin that looks like … anything but a dolphin, among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

Slow Motion Tours  
Slow Motion Tours develops Alternative Touristic Tours and Programs with the aim of providing a different way to get to know and eventually get involved into the local reality. Our main focus is in allowing our participants to get to know the local reality in a deep and significant way, like in what relates to social, ecological and cultural aspects. Slow Motion Tours is an independent socio-cultural project based on the development of Alternative Tourism and Ecossocial Education.

Note: Slow Motion Tours is a project with a really informal nature, so it’s an activity that is not covered by any type of insurance, the participants are responsible for their own safety and health. The contribution is destined to support the various organization costs and to support the development of the project itself. 
Spread the word: we appreciate all the possible and positive (of course) share of our project through your contacts, it´s our most precious way of “publicity”, Muito obrigado ;O)
