Regressamos ao Porto e descemos até a Ribeira, para desfrutar da bela e romântica margem direita do rio até à Foz, ao longo do nosso percurso amigo do ambiente, passaremos pelas freguesias de Miragaia, Massarelos e Lordelo do Ouro. Chegamos à zona balnear do Porto, a Foz do Douro. Avistamos os deslumbrantes Jardins do Passeio Alegre, rodeado de árvores centenárias, palmeiras e fontes, faremos aqui outra pausa, junto a praia, estamos na costa atlântica da cidade, para um momento de contemplação. "Nós amamos passear em seu veículo elétrico azul brilhante. Recomendo este passeio a qualquer um que venha visitar o Porto."

Se quiser fazer a sua reserva privada, precisar de outra data/hora, ou se tiver alguma dúvida ou preocupação sobre a minha experiência por favor contacte-me diretamente.
Navegando no Douro com o pescador
Meu plano é recebe-lo na Marina do Freixo onde lhe oferecerei uma bebida de boas vindas (Vinho do Porto ou Espumante Bruto) acompanhada de amêndoas com ervas aromáticas e iniciamos a navegação, sempre feita de forma pausada e segura. Veremos o Palácio do Freixo, logo ao lado da Marina e navegaremos rio abaixo, admirando desta perspectiva, as 6 pontes que unem Porto e Gaia, primeiro verá a Ponte do Freixo e de seguida poderá admirar as pontes de S. Joao e Maria Pia, esta ultima um marco da cidade, projectada por Eiffel. Seguidamente verá a ponte D. Luis I, o cais da Ribeira e Vila Nova de Gaia, onde estão localizadas as caves de vinho do Porto e por fim a Ponte da Arrábida. Iremos ver uma pitoresca vila de pescadores a Afurada, a Reserva Natural do Cabedelo e a romântica Foz velha. Continuando a nossa rota em direcção ao Atlântico, em determinadas alturas, poderemos ver os pescadores na faina de pesca do Robalo a linha e com um pouco de sorte ainda vamos ver os golfinhos. Isto se o mar tiver condições de navegabilidade e apenas nesse caso. Este cenário da Barra do Douro é especialmente bonito ao por do sol, momento que naturalmente recomendo. Durante o percurso, pararemos para tirar as obrigatórias fotos. E são horas de voltar ao porto de abrigo, com a esperança de ter transformado estas 2 horas num momento inesquecível e ter-lhe transmitido o amor que por este rio sinto. Outras observações Uma vez que estaremos navegando em direcção ao oceano, é recomendável trazer uma jaqueta leve ou cardigã, pois normalmente fica um pouco mais frio junto ao mar.
