Continuing along the right bank of the Douro River we arrive to Gondomar, a municipality where the interesting rural features compete with an urban tendency that starts to turn it into a metropolis. In fact, the tourism and natural potential, with the Douro River playing an important role, together with the craft of those who work the wood, silver and gold; all combines for a promising future. Guesthouses, river beaches, water sports, monuments such as the N? S? da Lapa shrine, the exquisite gilded carved wood work, the filigree ? its most precious visiting card ? the Crasto Hill, the shad, the lamprey and the nuts are irresistible attractions that everyone should know.
