Aldoar, Foz do Douro e Nevogilde

Aldoar, Foz do Douro e Nevogilde is a maritime parish in Porto consisting of residential neighborhoods, sandy beaches, and parks. The area features a mix of buildings and green spaces that spread along the Atlantic coastline.

The parish was created in 2013 when three separate areas merged as part of Porto's administrative reform. This reorganization joined Aldoar, Foz do Douro, and Nevogilde under one local administration.

The parish keeps Portuguese traditions alive through local festivals, markets, and seafood restaurants where traditional recipes are passed down. You can experience this living culture in the daily habits of people who gather along the waterfront and in neighborhood gathering places.

The area connects to central Porto via regular bus service, and coastal paths offer walking and cycling routes for exploring. These routes run along the waterfront and make getting around on foot or by bicycle straightforward.

The Douro River meets the Atlantic Ocean at the western edge, creating a rare natural confluence within a major city. From vantage points along the shore, you can see where freshwater and salt water intersect.
