    Excellent little local museum made with the collaboration of the people of the village. From the environment of the area to the social community life to the fishing activity along the last centuries. Free and absolutely recommended

    Original center that explains the evolution of this small fishing town located on the opposite shore from Porto. The person who assisted us was very friendly and explained very well the changes experienced in the town. They have an interesting collection of model ships.

    Free local museum. Some information in English, but most was in Portuguese. It has a fishing boat and some information about local life and history. Worth a quick visit if you're in the area. It's very hot.

    Nice small museum about the local culture and fishing history, including a lot of boat models. It also had a lovely exhibition by art students from the University of Porto when we visited. Most of the information is in Portuguese but there are some English signs and pamphlets. Worth visiting if you are in Afurada for the day.
