Vila Nova de Gaia coastline in Places to Go

Well many of you don't know Porto, and well you don't really know much about what there is to visit. While many seek Porto for its famous wine and old history, and also to travel up the river Douro, others seek the city for the entertainment.

For those of you that don't know, Porto is in Portugal's coastline, and it has many beautiful beaches, that are filled with tourists during the summer. Here, despite being in northern Portugal , Porto is quite good in the summer. Dry and a mild to hot weather gift Porto's beaches with sun from June to September.

One of the best places with the best beaches , besides the city itself that has its own share of blue flag beaches at foz, is Gaia. The sister sister has over 10 km of all blue flag beaches, and I decided to share some pictures of "Praia de Valadares", one of the first beaches near Douro to have blue flag. You can go easily by car, or you can take the bus, the train is far from this beach but the other ones are quite near the train, a quick 10 minute trip from the city center.

Here you are, makes you miss summer!
