Now that the ferry between Ouro and Afurada has at last resumed, let’s do a round trip walk to Afurada using both Douro Ferries.

We will start at the statue of Infante Dom Henrique (next to Palácio da Bolsa). From there we will walk the short distance to Ribeira and catch the ferry to Cais to Gaia (cost €3,50). We will follow the river towards the coast to the pretty town of Afurada, continuing to the marina where we will stop for refreshment.

We will then return to the quay in Afurada, where will catch the ferry to Ouro, a short journey of about 7 minutes. You can use your Andante card, or you can pay cash (cost €2,20).

From Ouro, we will walk back to Porto following the river.

The distance is about 9km, with no hills involved.

The ferry from Afurada can only take 20 people, which Is why I have limited the attendance to 10. Please only sign up if you are certain you will attend.
