Travel guide to Vila do Conde
Atlantic Ocean in Vila do Conde
Atlantic Ocean in Vila do Conde
Vila do Conde is on the coast not far from Parvoa da Varzim. However it doesn't, in its centre anyway, carry all the well known trappings of a resort.
You can stay quietly by the estuary without seeing many people at all and behind you is the statue of a lace worker. Nobody seemed to be giving any prizes for guessing what the historical industry of the town had been!

However, as well as lace the town has a history of fishing and this comes over more than any resort image - although it may well be different a couple of kilometres away where the beaches are.

The Convento da Santa Clara is a remarkable building, now a school for young offenders. As a convent it had its own aqueduct - shown in the accompanying photo. This carried water from miles away in the hills to a small fountain in the middle of a pretty spectacular coutyard inside the buiding.

The Friday market is large and busy but doesn't have any particular features of interest. [edit text]  [editors]
