Porto Street Market Tour and Tales
Joined 2021
Street markets are part of the Portuguese culture since the foundation of the country. The oldest street market of Portugal happens on Mondays, in the village of Ponte de Lima, since 1125 (XII century), it is known as Feira de Ponte de Lima.
Portuguese people still go to a street market to buy all sort of things: fresh food, clothes, shoes, farm working items, textile, home items, furniture and even farm animals.

Reviews
“Engaging and thorough walking tour of Porto's ancient Jewish history.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ana. She was very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and she told us fascinating engaging stories. She was able to show us some of the key areas of Porto's old Jewish history, but because there are only traces remaining, she gave us the full background and explanations. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about this subject matter.

“Knowledgeable n Friendly”
Ana’s encyclopedic knowledge base of Porto and Portugal was amazing! She was incredibly informative while still being friendly, easygoing and quick to laugh. Her English was easy to understand and her plan for seeing the city was perfectly paced. I highly recommend Ana!

The Jewish heritage of Porto
In 1496 the king of Portugal proclaimed a decree to expel Jews and Muslim from Portugal. But the presence of the Jewish community in the country is so ancient and significant that their heritage and importance is recognized until this days.
