This bar/restaurant has a fantastic spot on the surf pounded beach of the same name, a short bus ride to the west of Porto city. With a large decked area strewn with sofas, loungers and tables looking out over the Atlantic it’s a really relaxing place for a sundowner. This plus the chilled house background music and churning sea dotted with relentless surfers makes for a hybrid Ibizan/Cornish vibe.

Take the No.500 bus towards Matosinhos which starts outside Porto train station and follows a scenic route along the shore. Get off just after the castle.

Porto is a lovely city on the Douro river. Small hilly streets with shops, restaurants, port houses and very friendly people. Try a 'Porto Splash' - white port on ice with tonic.

D'Oliva is a restaurant just outside Oporto in the seaside suburb of Matosinhos. It serves some excellent pastas (the menu is mostly Italian and Mediterranean), and the overall ambiance is sophisticated yet relaxed.

You can take the metro to Matosinhos from the center of Oporto, or take a taxi which should cost less than 10 euros.
Rua Brito e Cunha, 354, Matosinhos, see www.gooporto.com for more information.
