The city of Matosinhos merges seamlessly into the city of Porto as you walk along the coast, there is no city boundary to be seen and no signs to indicate this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
From an urban planning point of view, however, it is quite clear when you look at the map: Matosinhos and Porto are separated from each other by the Pra\u00e7a da Cidade do Salvador and the adjoining main road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We took the metro towards the Matosinhos coast. We got off at Matosinhos Mercardo station. Here we wanted to visit the Mercado, one of the biggest fish markets in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The market hall is a retro-looking building that was inaugurated in 1952. However, the building design is older, dating from 1939, and was one of the most modern buildings in the region at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
