                             –    SAO BENTO   –

This building, inaugurated in 1916, is made of stone and azulejos inside. Outside, the building has architectural lines and neoclassical decorations. The station dates back to the early 1900s and was born in the same place where the nuns of the Convent of Sao Bento of Ave Maria happened in the past. The first train, however, did not make its debut before 1896. The Sao Bento station is located a few meters from the Church of San Antonio and very close to the Sá da Bandeira Theater. The area is rich in monuments and historic sites that are extremely interesting for visitors coming to discover Oporto for the first time. Also in the historic center, there is the Torre dos Clerigos, one of the national symbols of the city. In the historic center of Oporto, finding parking is not at all easy. However, we can park the car comfortably and very close: in fact, a few steps away, you will find a Saba car park. Saba parking lots are available 24 hours a day, more modern facilities are included with wifi included.

Maritime beach
Accessible from the village of Olhos de Água or from the complex of Quinta da Balaia, Praia Maria Luísa is surrounded by cliffs of shades ranging from ocher to golden, in pleasant contrast with the blue of the sea.

The beach has very complete infrastructures, including equipment for sailing, windsurfing and water skiing.

          azulejos 

The azulejo (Portuguese pronunciation [ɐzuˈleʒu]; Spanish [aθuˈlexo], from the Arabic الزليج az-zulaiŷ, “polished stone”) is a typical ornament of Portuguese and Spanish architecture which consists of a not very thick ceramic tile with an enameled and decorated surface.

Traditionally it has a square shape and measures about 12 cm per side, although in many decorations it has different shapes.

The azulejo was not always as we know it today, of square shape. It is the successor of the Spanish alicatados, which were brought to the Iberian Peninsula by the Arabs.

From the 13th century, in the Spanish east, particularly in Valencia, as well as in the south, in Seville and Granada, the potters, under Muslim influence, produced slabs of smooth enamelled and colored clay, cut with pincers (alicates). This explains the term alicatado, from the style of the compositions, generally for floors but also, sometimes, for wall surfaces.
