Overview: A small town at the mouth of the River Ave, 17 miles (27km) north of Porto, Vila do Conde has become a popular summer holiday resort because of its sandy beaches and rocky reefs. The town has some entertaining local industries, mainly hand-hewn boat building, lace-making, hand-knitting and sweet making. Visitors are welcome at the Rendas lace-making school, where fine examples of the local lace can be purchased.
