Things to do in Furadouro

Activities, attractions and tours

There is a small snack-bar on the beach of Furadouro, which is a gastronomic gem. What you see on the picture, is the best "Arroz de marrisco" (sea food rice stew) what I have ever eaten in my life. In my Norther Portugal Bicycle Tour I always suggest this place to eat on the stage, when we cycle from Porto to Furadouro with my clients. I suggest to do the same when you are around there, go for the Restaurant Maganinho 😋 #Portugal #foodie #seafood #gastrotour #food #portugueselife #expatsinportugal #beer
