Matosinhos-Porto-Portugal
Matosinhos is a major port and fishing town, which is famed for its fish restaurants and glorious sandy beach. This beach (the Praia de Matosinhos) is the largest sandy beach close to Porto, and is adored by the residents of Porto, who flock here during the summer months.
Dominating the coastline of Matosinhos is the Leixões port, and though this is an eye-sore from the beach, it is both the heart and heritage of the town. From this harbour the fresh fish is sold in the bustling morning market, while at meal times the smell of grilled fish wafts out from the many outstanding seafood restaurants.
Most visitors come to Matosinhos purely for the beach, but it has more to offer including the Castelo do Queijo, the Parque da Cidade, the daily market and a selection of coastal walks. Matosinhos may not be the most scenic of towns along the Costa Verde coastline, but it is authentically Portuguese and an enjoyable destination for a day on the beach. This article will provide an introduction to Matosinhos.
Matosinhos is renowned for its seafood restaurants, which specialise in the fresh catch from the fishing harbour. The best restaurants are found just behind the fishing harbour, along the Rua Heróis de França. The fish are cooked on open-air grills and the smell of cooked fish fills the district. Also found within these streets are fish wholesalers, who stock a wide selection of fish, lobsters and shellfish.
