- Quinta da Macieirinha Park
The Quinta da Macieirinha Park, located in the northern part of Porto, offers a unique combination of natural landscape, cultural heritage, and exemplary agricultural practices. This green oasis occupies the grounds of a former estate and is one of the largest urban parks in Porto.
The history of Quinta da Macieirinha dates back to the nineteenth century, when the estate was owned by affluent families who used it for agriculture and leisure. In the early twenty-first century, the area was transformed into a public park, preserving elements of its historical layout, architectural structures, and traditional farming practices.
The park features preserved manor houses, wine-making facilities, and traditional agricultural plots. Local varieties of vegetables, fruits, and grapes are cultivated here, allowing visitors to engage with the region’s agricultural traditions. Walking trails wind through picturesque meadows, gardens, and groves, creating spaces for relaxation, leisure, and educational activities.
Particular attention is given to environmental education: exhibitions, workshops, and events are organized to promote sustainable farming and environmental protection. Thanks to the integration of cultural heritage, agricultural practice, and natural beauty, Quinta da Macieirinha has become an important center for eco-tourism and family recreation in Porto.
