Norte de Portugal — Carved North Drive

Porto · 4 stops · 100 km

A half-day drive through the carved north: the monumental white-and-grey bas-relief frieze at Porto’s Hospital de São João, the quiet carved wall of Look At Porto in the city centre, the industrial memory of Fábrica 390 on Matosinhos’ waterfront strip, and the carved wall facing the station in Aveiro. The north reads like Lisbon’s harder twin — granite, tile and factory brick instead of limestone.
