Azurara sits on the south bank of the Rio Ave, just one Metro stop before Vila do Conde. The Metro Line B (Linha da Povoa) passes through, with a station here if you need to cut the day short. The bridge crossing into Vila do Conde offers your first view of the town's aqueduct and the Convento de Santa Clara high on the hillside.

Notice:

The Metro of Porto Line B (Linha da Póvoa) passes through Azurara. To stop here, disembark at the Azurara station, but note that one more stop takes you to Vila do Conde’s Santa Clara station.

The Camino:

Between Azurara and Vila do Conde flows the Rio Ave. Once over the bridge, turn left and walk along the park and Plaza de la Republica. At the end of the park follow straight (along the waterfront) until the next side street (the Rua do Lidador) where you turn right and uphill. At the top of hill there is an intersection of the old-town style, which is to say many directions all difficult to describe. Keep straight here, if somewhat to the right, and head towards the Igreja Matriz.
