We didn't win but it was a very nice casino and had a good time while on vacation

This is the best casino in Portugal in my opinion, especially for poker. The blonde lady who runs all the poker is really helpful and friendly. There are good tournaments here and loads of cash tables. Even the dealers are friendly. Good vibe
Good Atmosphere and very big area. They have a lot of slots but the most are with jackpots and very difficult. I would like to that more diversity. The bar at the entrance is very beautiful and the drinks tasted well.
This is the worst casino I ever been too!! And I am an avid gambler! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!
Playing blackjack dealer got an ace showing I'm assuming she is gonna look at her down card to see if she has blackjack already but she doesn't so that was odd, so we proceed to play so they dealt me two aces so I obviously split the aces get another ace now I got 3 aces, first hand i get 14, second hand i get 21, third hand i get 21...now it's the dealers turn she flips her undercard and it's a 10...and they tell me I lose all 3 hands...wooooow. I never ever in my 20 plus years of playing blackjack ever heard of no idiotic rules like that. It's such a disadvantage for the players that it should be illegal!! They are taking advantage of the people, not fair at all!! I visited Sunday night may 18 2025. And on top of that after I lose the host asks me to pay for his meal! I was in complete awe! Casino regulators need to take a close look at what they are doing there! Absurd!! On top of that the staff is soo rude and unwelcoming. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
Played blackjack here. went from 80 euros to 200 euros in about 40 mins of playing. Sat up to move to another table as this french man was being loud, disruptive and annoying (this was throwing me off my game) sat at another table which after two hands he also moved to my table. After a couple more hands he said i was an advantage player which i replied to how on a CSM (continuous shuffling machine) table 😂
anyways right after he said that i started losing every hand, even when i went back to the previous table i was at. call it superstition, call it paranoia or whatever you want but something definitely felt rigged after that.
the place looks alright, a bit outdated but honestly if you wanna have fun with 50-100 euros do so! jus don’t expect to have a heater for a long time. out of esphino and lisbon, lisbon definitely got its hat off from me.
Had 3 nights in the casino. Bar service is good, not free like some casinos but good value price . Ate a couple of nicely cooked sandwiches. Good bar staff and croupiers, my girlfriend actually enjoyed this casino at the bar while I played.
What happens in Vageas Stays in Vegas
The Casino was fine, the food in the Jokers Lounge was "passable". I had a steak the first time. Asked for well done but had to send it back as it was still pink inside. Had the Bond Burger the second time. Very little meat. LOTS of bun. Fries were good.
I didn't win 😢

Nice beach, good place to serf! Have serfing kids school on the beach.
Many places to eat, shower and public wc on the beach as well.
Beautiful landscape
Beautiful beach! Amazing surf and good quality sand. Bars along the front all good. Public toilets (paid 50c) and free showers.
wide sandy beach full if surfers. you can get lessons right there. also watching surfing schools is very interesting. ocean is cold but few rocky lakes are okay to swim up to knees also for kids. a lot of peole playing beach games. you can get to this place from porto old town with train - urban line from camphana or sao bento station to espinho direction. the train stops right on the beach. the andante card is valid also for this lines. the train cca every 30 min.
Wonderful place and I love to see the waves shocking against the rocks.
Wonderful place for family and friends
Not a great experience.. the wind is blowing you out, huge waves which not allowing you to swim, it gets extremely crowded plus the sport games everywhere over your heads. You cannot even close your eyes as gonna be hit by a teenagers ball...
Best place to enjoy the beach in Espinho. Normally a bit crowded in August.

Praia Azul Espinho is a very windy beach, making it perfect for surfing. It offers easy access with the train station located close by and clean facilities right next to the beach. A walking trail to Granja is also available. This beautiful beach features palm trees and numerous nearby restaurants, offering a great view and an amazing spot to watch the sunset. While it's ideal for early morning walks when it's less crowded, swimmers should be cautious of strong currents and cold waters.
Perfect place for families and friends groups to spend relaxing time. Outstanding views and blue sea will definitely catch your eyes. Reccomended for tourists 💯

Beautiful sand beach next to various restaurants! Great big weaves for surfing, would recommend a different beach for just swimming or tanning. Compared to other beaches very windy, foggy and cold.
Loved it!!! It was so beautiful
It is a nice beach even in winter time.
Very beautiful beach. palm trees and many resturants nearby.
Great beach for walking on early in the morning when no one else is around. Water can be dangerous with a strong current
Amazing spot to watch the sunset.
Very windy beach, great for surf though. Great access with the train station very close to the beach.
Good and clean facilities available right next to to the beach with a walking trail available to Granja.

If you're tired of removing sand from your skin after swimming but still want to enjoy the water, consider visiting Piscina Solário Atlântico's swimming pools. They offer both indoor and outdoor options, with the water sourced directly from the sea. For a nominal fee, you can also access additional amenities such as a sauna and various services.
Good place to enjoy yourself
Elis L — Google review
The pool is treated salted water from the sea. The pool itself is massive and there’s a deep end, shallow end and a separate pool for babies/children. The lifeguards are also friendly and you’re allowed to jump in to the pool. You need to pay extra to have sun loungers or a table with chairs but there’s benches placed around one side of the pool that are completely free.
There’s a cafe inside with a great variety of food and drink. Staff are friendly. It’s also great that this place allows you in with your own food and drink.
We visited this place about 4 times within a month, I honestly recommend it to anyone who prefers pool over the beach.
The only downfall about this place is the toilets. They’re completely broken, run-down and there is never any toilet roll. They’re so disgusting.
Recommendations:
- Toilets need a massive upgrade and/or to be well maintained and cleaned.
- Unused/empty area at the top could use with some benches/chairs/sun-loungers.
Staff not very helpful. Very tired in need of renovation. Nearly falling apart, which is a shame as it has a great potential for good swimming pool especially with it's history. Need to be saved and invested in.
Good pool, but iconic diving board closed and no balls allowed and no inflatables. Seating costs extra. Half day price available after 1400/1430.
Closed outside of peak summer, opening times are for the outside only.
Nice Olympics size pool and nice kids pool as well. Good value for money
Good place to spend the day, needs some renovation
Good vibes! this outdoor pool with view on
the sea has all the facilities you need for a relaxed afternoon (Bar with the basics snacks/drinks) chairs to rent with umbrella, showers. For the sportive ones, you can swim your lengths in the Olympic pool filled with saltwater

Seafood restaurant
Nestled near the Casino de Espinho, Aquário Marisqueira is a charming oceanfront restaurant that has been delighting seafood lovers since 1954. With its prime location right by the sea, it offers an extensive menu featuring fresh fish and shellfish prepared in various styles—grilled, boiled, or roasted to perfection. Diners rave about the generous portions; many dishes are perfect for sharing.
Great seafood on the beach. Top level service. We had the biggest tiger shrimp I've ever seen. As big as Maine lobster. We also had pasta class and shrimp and the pasta was tasted homemade. We will be back soon.
Daniel K — Google review
We ordered a sea food rice but I must confess we didn’t like much… the rice was on a pool of liquid and overcooked and barely no seafood to compensate that… on top of that it has a excessive flavor to cilantro… was really invasive and inappropriate.
Desserts were good, though.
Service was good and kind and the ambient a little bit noisy.
The food was very, very good – we were really surprised! It tasted great but was a bit too oily. The service was friendly, but sometimes not very attentive. Still, we enjoyed it a lot and would come back.
One of the best dinner and service in my life. Fresh fish melted in my mouth, was soft like a cloud, big portion for 2 persons, amazing wine. Waiter was very attentive to us and very kind. It was great last day of our extremely good vacations in Portugal, im happy it finished on so great note and leaved amazing after-taste in my soul. Highly recommend:)
It was a welcoming atmosphere with yummy food & wine. The view is spectacular.
Fantastic Fish Restaurant right on the Atlantic. If you love fresh fish and want to eat it while looking out to the ocean then there is no better place to enjoy the fish the wine and the view. I had the monk fish and rice which was full of flavour and light.
Amazing food, great place, super views, highly recommend.
Worst fries in all of Espinho so far, really soggy. Portions quite small for the price. Food is nothing special, nothing you would go back for. Apart from that, the waiters are really unfriendly and sometimes very odd, you don't feel comfortable during your stay.

Ice cream shop
Nestled in a charming spot, Gelataria Esquimó offers a delightful experience that feels like home. The friendly and attentive staff create an inviting atmosphere where you can indulge in an array of delicious ice cream flavors, each one better than the last. Don't miss out on their gofra topped with creamy vanilla ice cream—it's simply divine! Coffee lovers will also appreciate the quality brews available here.
Really friendly, helpful staff and homely family run feel to the place. We tried nearly every ice cream 🍨flavour and they're all really good. The gofra are great with a blob of vanilla ice cream. Great coffee too. Really was the best ice cream we had in Portugal and the staff go the extra mile with attention to detail and good conversation. Fantastic place for a coffee and catch up and you can watch ⚽ too if it's on. Friendly and welcoming, family oriented place just what you need after a day out or on the beach. Good prices too. We'll definitely be back 👍🍨👍

The quality of the food and service here has gone down tremendously over the years. Their WC was also not in a good state. They take for granted their good historical reputation and location, and have given up actually caring about the quality. We waited over 20 minutes for a menu, and over 40 minutes for a waffle that was broken in pieces and tasted stale. This is the second time I've been disappointed. Will not return for a third. Management should have a good think about how to make changes moving into 2025
The service is poor, the prices are ridiculously expensive, the toilets are a disgrace. My son ordered a strawberry ice cream cocktail and almost the entire serving was chantilly instead of ice cream for 10 damn euros. We ordered to go and They give a mini sized spoon to use with a huge takeaway cup..wont see us again
I ordered the crepe with chocolate and strawberries. It arrived quickly however there were practically no strawberries and the chocolate was also sparse. For 8€ too. I do not think it's worth coming here unless you are having the adequately priced waffles. Also the toilets were not working 😔
Nice Sundays, great location, outdated toilets but very clean. We totally would come back.
Great waffles for good price. People will come in huge groups though, which is not very nice at this time. Still a good place to grab a bite by the beach.
Looks unassuming but the spaghetti marinara is the best pasta I've ever had. You need to try it. The shrimp salad was great, too. Huge portions. And with a good view of the beach, it's a great place to watch the sunset. Staff are very efficient and helpful.
Close to the sea, very good coffee and local food. It's also very close to the casino and the ocean

Restaurante a Cabana in Espinho is a highly recommended establishment with courteous staff and a beautiful ambiance. It offers an excellent selection of seafood, including lobsters, crabs, and prawns. The wine choices are also impressive. Guests have expressed no regrets about their experience and describe it as outstanding and fantastic. The food is delicious, the place is scenic, and the staff is very friendly. Although the prices may be higher than average, the quality of service justifies it.
Tasty food and great wine selection with lovely views. Plus great service, have to recommend this place!

Food was delicious, absolutely loved the arroz de marisco. My son loved his meal and dessert. The service was amazing and very kind with a great sense of humour. Making a reservation is highly recommended.
Are here for my 23rd birthday. Got the entrecote, medium rare. It was perfect and really tasty with good sides. We also ordered a sea mix, with shells, lobster, crabs etc. It was also tasty. Friendly staff and good vibes. It was a bit expensive, but if you want to spend money in good food, this could be the place.
Very nice restaurant, seems brand new, the service was very good. The food was great as well, the prices are a little steep though… But you get parking space and there aren’t that many restaurants bye the beach in espinho. The sea food seems very nice, especially the huge crabs(sapateira) I have never seen so big, been in many sea food restaurants as well as sea food markets. Will come to try them in future! :)
Absolutely loved our experience at Acabana! The octopus was incredible, and everything from the appetizers to the coffee was just perfect. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and the place itself has such a lovely, relaxing vibe. Can’t wait to come back!
Excellent service & food at a wonderful place, we can just recommend 👍
A proper restaurant with great food and professional waiters. We had roast pork loin, potatoes and green veg and the single portion was more than enough for the 2 of us. Highly recommended we thoroughly enjoyed it.
just an amazing place to eat fish based dishes
not expensive as you cave expect while entering in the restaurant.
will go back for sure.

In the summer, the beach comes alive with activities such as European championships for beach volleyball, bodyboarding, and surfing. The stunning surroundings offer a nice and quiet atmosphere with beautiful views.
Stunning beach. Some strong waves so if you got toddler's maybe not such a good idea. Wide paving for pedestrian, so walking, scooter and running is definitely worth it. Awesome lifeguards and friendly people

Public beach
The beach located in front of the Fishermen's District starts where the center ends. Fishermen leave their vibrant boats on the shore after unloading their daily catch. Adjacent to the beach, there are a few bars where one can often find fishermen relaxing after a strenuous day of work. Visiting during mid-morning allows for observing and purchasing the freshly harvested catch, as well as witnessing traditional fishing boats in action.
If you want to see the local fishermen catch fish with a big net, you need to go early morning to this beach. It is located in Espinho. You can park your car nearby and walk to this area where you see a tractor.
It is a kind of tourist attraction that you should not miss while in Espinho. I was there like 1 hour to see when they pull the net to the sand until they pick up all the fish.
The fishermen needs to be fast because of the sea eagles that are ready to steal their fish.
They will sell the fish immediately to public. It costs vary depends on the fish. I heard that 10 euros per box of small fishes. It is agood way to help local fishermen by buying their fresh fish.
Rita — Google review
Very nice fisherman’s (fishers?) area with huts and classic shaped boats. Recovered by tractors.
Surfers about 100 m out waiting for suitable waves look like seals bobbing about. Cormorants and sea birds squabble over fish bits— generally great sea-side vibe. The board walk South is just shortly further on.
Go in the mid morning to watch the days' catch being harvested and sold, plus the boats, including a couple of traditional fishing boats. They use tractors to move the nets and ropes, seagulls have enormous fun picking at the leftovers, and you can get great photos and videos.
Beautiful golden sand, clear blue sea, safe environment for paddling and swimming. Amenities are abundant just a short walk to the centre of Porto what's not to love about this place?
Interesting little area that could easily transport you back in time. Not much had changed here, just the addition of a lot more concrete I would expect.
Very nice beach! Beautiful waves and pittoresque fishing boots
Beautiful place, nice people!!!
How beautiful!!
Now this was special!
A very tiny hint of a very challenging job...
Here we saw the boats with all their tools, smelled the fish and found some forgotten sea stars for souvenirs...
We also happened to be there when the boats were out for lessons!
Very lucky indeed!

Restaurant
Restaurante Vegetariano Terra Viva in Espinho used to be a top choice, but some find the current prices too high. Despite the use of organic products, there are concerns about hygiene and quality after a customer found a live slug in their salad. On the other hand, many praise it as an excellent restaurant with delicious and healthy vegan/vegetarian food. The buffet offers a wide variety of options and has received positive feedback for its friendly service and inviting atmosphere.
One of the Best vegan restaurants I have ever tried. Food is delicious and healthy. The quality and quality of the dish is unmatched. I really like to visit it again and again. That family also runs the Bio grocery store just opposite to the restaurant that also offers a variety of bio products. I have visited that also. I love this concept.

"First time I've ever walked into a restaurant and said, "Give me everything!" Said my son.

Amazing vegetarian food. You can choose out of 5 dishes + salad for lunch and only pay 7€. We can also recommend the cakes.
Super restaurant for vegan food. We were non vegans who like to eat vegetarian , one of us needs gluten free. Huge gf choice, everything delicious, reasonable prices and a very welcoming owner. Also good English made it easy for us. Fantastic restaurant, do try if you're in town.
Fresh & healthy lunch with fresh lemonade - all for €8.80!
The staff were so helpful & there was a lovely outside seating area.
Everything below 5 stars is impossible. You get a plate full of different vegan dishes and on top get to build your own salad. Everything tasted refined and it was the best restaurant I’ve been in a while.
Prices are also incredibly fair. This is an absolute must go!
We were surprised to find an all vegetarian/vegan restaurant but were glad that we did!
Both the staff and the food were amazing! We were given a table immediately and chose our food.
It was wonderful to have so many options, and to spend time at this lovely restaurant.
Very nice and cute place for vegetarian and vegan food 👌🙂

Casta Wine Bar & Restaurant is a charming find in the city center of Espinho. The cozy atmosphere and well-ventilated space make it a delightful spot for lunch or dinner. The menu offers an array of delectable options, from shrimps and cod cutlets to risotto with shrimps and salmon. The extensive wine selection includes both wines sold by the glass and by the bottle, ensuring there's something for every palate.
I found out about this place completely by accident, and I'm really glad I did. It's not a big place, we fortunately got there when it opened so we had a spot. The atmosphere is amazing, the place is very well ventilated. The service is good, the food is amazing. We got two tapas (the shrimps and the cod cutlets), the risotto with shrimps, and the salmon. Everything was extremely good. They have a big choice of wines (some can be sold as glasses, others only as bottles), and the green one we got was really good.
I totally recommend this place, it may not be the cheapest in the city, but it's really good.

A cozy restaurant with good food! I ordered the salmon, and loved it. The service is also great with polite staff. The restaurant itself is also very pretty☺️
Best place in Espinho. Great atmosphere and great food! Highly recommended. Make sure to book a place as it gets full soon
The best place to go in Espinho.
The traditional but also modern cuisine was a special experience.
This place made my nights in Espinho unforgettable and I will have to come back again.
The staff was lovely and professional. Giving advices on wine and food pairing.
And the playlist just made the whole visit multi-sensational experience!
Such a nice place with really good food. Vegan options were delicious
Very Nice place in the city center.
In Espinho there is a few places with good interesting food, where you want to spent your time.
Casta - one of this place.
Picanha was super, wine was also very nice, service was persfect as well.
Absolutely great spot for lunch and dinner. After our first visit we had to come back next day to try different things from the menu, totally worth it. Eggs with potatos and ham are to die for, pork cheeks and sauce - WOW! We had cod cakes, prawn tempura, steak with rosemary butter and chicken with rice aswell and they were all nicely seasoned. Service is great, there is no menu in english but our waiter told us everything we wanted to know. If we could go back 3rd time we would but we are leaving and i can recommend this place 101%
Great food, some of it with an even greater twist!

If you're looking for a delightful dining experience in Espinho, "O Padrinho" is a must-visit. This charming restaurant offers an authentic taste of Portuguese cuisine with generous portions that will leave you satisfied. Arriving early or after 1 PM is advisable, as it tends to get quite busy. The daily specials are not only delicious but also budget-friendly, making it easy to indulge without breaking the bank.
Eat well, Portuguese style, well served good portions. Well done guys. Will be back soon

The service here is very good but the food is only average at best. I really wish I liked it more as they are so nice and attentive. We had grilled shrimp and chicken, and it was without much flavor at all. Also, based on this, it was overpriced when compared to the other restaurants offering the same menu around Espinho. Damn and I really wanted to like this place.
We took a grilled chicken which is rather small in size but charged with a normal price. In the other restaurants, for the same price, we had rice, French fries with a much bigger chicken. I will not recommend this place.
Arrive early in the noon or after 1pm, because can be very crowded. Dish of the day is good and cheap. Chicken is good but I prefer Vitela ao forno. Pescada is good. Service is good and fast
Love it. Great food, especially the feijoada. Very friendly and good value for money.
Nice bbq chicken and very reasonable price.
Frango e sausages are always amazing. Have to have, at least once a week.
Great food and service also has English menu available.

Nestled in the heart of Espinho, Casa Papagaio is a beloved local eatery that captures the essence of authentic dining. This charming spot buzzes with energy as locals gather to enjoy simple yet deliciously prepared dishes. While reservations aren't accepted, the hour-long wait is well worth it for the mouthwatering food and cozy atmosphere. The staff works diligently to ensure a pleasant experience, and you'll find that prices are refreshingly affordable compared to other establishments in the area.
Great Portuguese grill restaurant, food is always, always fresh, i have visited this place at least 20 times and always happy. I love their fish cooked over wood fire and my wife likes the ribs, the ribs are awesome too but due to calories i just take a taste of hers, hands down best small family owned restaurant in Espinho, if near by try it, you will be happy too.

We came to this restaurant every evening for dinner and tried almost every dish on the menu - everything was absolutely delicious! The food was consistently tasty, and the desserts were especially delightful. Highly recommended!
Without a doubt, one of the best restaurant in the Espinho-Esmoriz area. Stayed one week in Espinho in summer’20 and one month in Esmoriz in summer’21 and this was by far my favourite restaurant for dining out. There’s not a single dish I didn’t enjoy not to mention the great value for money that you’ll be getting. The fish has always been fresh when I ordered it and should you wish you can check the steaks/fish out on the display inside the restaurant.
They don’t take reservations so you might have to wait on busy evenings.
Enjoy! 🥂🦑🥩🐟
Real and authentic local restaurant there bunch of local people gather to eat together. You can't book a table in advance so be prepared to wait around an hour to get a table, but the wait is really worth it. The food is simple but really well prepared and tastfull. Atmosphere is noisy but very cozy. The staff does their best and the wait for the food is relatively short. Prices are well bellow other restaurants in Espinho and that's probably why many locals choose it. I really recommend this place.
Amazing place ! Very delicious food and very traditional Portugese! Well served. With a smile and very helpful in explaining and showing the fish to chose to put onto the grill. Deserts were delicious too. Small restaurant with nice atmosphere! Thank you !
Best fish in Espinho!
Edit:
Revisited after a year and I’m glad to say the food and wine is still excellent! Absolutely recommended for amazing grilled fish and a carafe or two of vinho verde
Sure. You can come to Espinho and not go to eat at Casa Papagaio. But if you do this, you might as well stop traveling altogether because you’re doing it wrong. ;)
It’s not a fancy restaurant, but the food and service are simply excellent. If you like it unpretentious but good, this is where you want to eat.
One of our absolute favourite places to dine while on our annual holiday in Espinho. The food is super (the grilled sardines and the spareribs warrant a special mention: delicious); the service is beyond swift and always always friendly (no matter how busy it gets). Restaurante Casa Papagaio is a gem!

Beautiful sunset, I'd recommend going along with your partner or friends.
Pretty nice beach, biggest problem being the lack of sand because of the sea level rise due to climate change :/
Such a lovely little beach area , the entrance has been modernised with a nice path to enter along with a play area and a small beach cafe , a good sized tarmac car park close by with adequate parking for many cars . The sea is very clear and good for swimming . The day we were there July 25 there were life guards on duty .
Great spot to lap up the sun. Little breeze just l taking the edge off👍
What a lovely big to overcrowded beach with life guards on but that’s probably only a summer thing . The beach area has been modernised recently and has a lovely entrance , there is parking at the entrance to the beach and more not far away . It is a lovely place for swimming .
big waves, the views are amazing especially on sunset. If you are near this area definetely recommended!
Very nice and calm beach to cycle down from Gaia. Much more low key than some of the busier spots, if you are looking for a quiet beach

Oporto Golf Club

Golf club
Oporto Golf Club, established in 1890, is a picturesque golf course located near the Atlantic Ocean, just three kilometers away from Espinho's city center. Initially founded by British port wine manufacturers, the club started with nine holes and has since evolved into an impressive 18-hole course with a par of 71. Despite language barriers encountered by some English-speaking visitors in the past, Oporto Golf Club remains a popular destination for golf enthusiasts visiting Espinho.
Can't believe I never left a review.. played this course twice while staying in Espinho maybe 8-10 years ago.. my man Paulo Duarte got me in there. Awesome track. Wish I spoke Portuguese better back then because the older guys I played with didn't speak much English. One of these days I'll make it back to the great city of Espinho and Oporto Golf Club.. and have a Super Bock with my man Paulo. FC Porto>Sporting🤣

I am deeply disappointed with the Oporto Golf Club. On October 6th, my 7-year-old son suffered a permanent injury, broken front teeth, the lack of supervision and club's response has been appalling. They refuse to take responsibility and have been dismissive of our concerns. They also deceptively increased the academy fees after we enrolled our son. I would strongly advise against joining this club.
Really wanted this course to be a seaside links hidden gem, but... the course is in the condition of a Muni Public course.. fairways are brown dried out, full of crab grass and weeds, no real definition of fairway and non-fairway. Sand in bunkers is just heavy dirt. Par 3s are real good, long and challenging with a really nice sbort one at 16. 18 is a really nice closing hole par 5.. Has potential to be a must play course with redesign and upgrade.
Tee time reserved for 9:00 arrived at 8:30; nobody around at 9:05 and only members teeing off. Caddie Master very unfriendly did not make any effort to help. No organization at all so ended up playing in Miramar 40 min latter. Definitely a club for members only so don't lose your time.
Best shit ever
A travesty that destroys the local ecology. Turn this into a park instead!
I rang to book for 3 people and ask to rent golf clubs
Very nice people on the phone they told my the price was 50£ for game and 30£ for the rental each and I have to pay the clubs in cash and the rest in card so we took enough cash and is everything was ok
Then when we go there was a extra 35 £ for a trolley and we have to pay cash
When we complain that it was a outrage amount of money for a trolley and with didn’t had a lot cash on us we offer to pay with credit card and they refused
So we had to use all our cash to pay for the trolleys and the staff where very rude and arrogant
Please be careful when booked
I have used other clubs in Portugal and everything was nice this one are rude arrogant and they stitch you up
Great course. Lack of buggies and the restaurant was closed so that was frustrating. The staff was really nice and helpful.

Praia de Silvalde, also known as Pau da Manobra, is a serene Blue Flag beach located near Espinho. Unlike the bustling Praia da Baia, this beach offers a quieter atmosphere with ample space for relaxation. The wide sandy area is flanked by dunes and a golf course, providing a picturesque backdrop for leisurely strolls along the wooden walkway.
Spectacular beach, quite wild, long and with very few people, great sand, a few waves to enjoy surf and great access and infrastructure to walk around. A total hidden gem, no doubt I would go back if I'm around again, much better than crowded Espinho and nor as wild as Maceda, great option and it has a little bar at the entrance

Nestled in the heart of Espinho, the Sports Park Sporting Clube de Espinho is a cherished destination for both locals and visitors alike. Spanning approximately 2.5 hectares, this park offers a delightful escape with its informative panels and winding trails that invite exploration. The dedication of the training staff at SCE shines through, providing excellent facilities for budding footballers to hone their skills. Many have fond memories tied to this sports park, recalling joyful moments from their childhood spent here.
(Translated by Google) Huge dedication from all the SCE training staff... it's a shame that the CME is not in sync with the SCE (the vareira race)... all the delay in the new stadium is due to the CME... in the 90s it was already paying 50 "bricks" more for the construction of the stadium...

Castro de Ovil

Historical landmark
Castro De Ovil is an ancient Iron Age settlement located in the Paramos parish of Portugal. This fortified hilltop village dates back to a millennium before the Roman era and features circular dry-stone houses made of shale, protected by an outer wall or moat. The site offers a glimpse into pre-Roman life, with round houses on a hill that were strategically designed for defense. Visitors can also explore the remains of an old paper mill, adding another layer to the area's historical significance.
Visited the "castle" which is very old. In medieval times it was already deserted. Here lived the Lusitanos in pre- roman times in round houses on a hill. Good to defend. Worth seeing and understanding.
Furthermore the remains of an old paper mill can be visited, appr. 200 yrs old- so very young in comparance :)
Please navigate to: Rua do Castro de Ovil and drive this road to the end. IMPORTANT: be so kind and leave no garbage there.

(Original)
Simplesmente espetacular. Necessita de intervenção da autarquia,para as limpezas, e melhor divulgação
(Translated by Google) I was a little disappointed with the state of conservation of the accesses and the lack of information on the signs. As for the conservation of the accesses, since they do not do any maintenance, it was difficult to know where to go because the arrows placed on the ground (brown) were almost covered by vegetation. After several years of study, some signs are based on texts of assumptions, with information of 5 to 6 lines of text and they did not even include images of how it might have been at the time. I also got the idea that if they dig more, they will find more. I am sorry that they have left this place somewhat abandoned and from what I have understood, maintenance should only be done when they do reports or large visits. This place deserves more. However, do not miss out on visiting.
(Original)
Fiquei um pouco desiludida com o estado de conservação dos acessos e com a falta de informação das placas orientadoras. Quanto à conservação dos acessos, por não fazerem manutenção, ficava difícil de perceber por onde uma pessoa tinha de ir pois as setas colocadas no chão (castanhas) estavam quase tapadas pela vegetação. Com alguns anos de estudo algumas placas baseiam-se em textos de suposições, com informação de 5 a 6 linhas de texto e nem imagens colocaram de como poderia ter sido na altura. Também fiquei com a ideia de que se escavarem mais, mais encontrarão. Tenho pena que deixem este sítio um pouco ao abandono e pelo que percebi a manutenção só deve ser feita quando fazem reportagens ou grandes visitas. Este sítio merecia mais. No entanto, não deixem de visitar.
(Translated by Google) Although there aren't many uncovered structures, the settlement's size is notable.
I was left with the feeling that there is still much to excavate and classify.
It's also worth noting that on the day of my visit, a team was clearing the brush, making structures visible that would otherwise be hidden.
The visit won't be very long, as what can be seen, compared to other Castros in the region, isn't much. Even so, it's a place that shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in the subject.
(Original)
Apesar de as estruturas a descoberto não serem muitas, a dimensão do povoado é notória.
Fiquei no entanto, com a sensação que muito há ainda para escavar e classificar.
De referir ainda o facto de no dia da minha visita andar uma equipa a cortar o mato, tornando as estruturas visíveis que de outra forma já não estariam.
A visita não será muito longa pois aquilo que se pode ver, se comparado com outros Castros da região, não é muito. Ainda assim é um local que não deve ficar esquecido por todos quantos se interessam pela temática.

The best pizza, Italian and Venezuelan food on both sides of the Atlantic. Hand made with care and attention to authenticity. Try the panini pizza with mortadella or parma ham. It is a meal in itself. The garlic bread is surprising and amazing. Do not miss. Worth the time to search this restaurant out. The owners are friendly and accommodating.
Excellent pizza, big portion, very fresh ingredients, the secret is in the crust!! Mother with her son so welcoming. Stayed past closing time to accommodate us. Worth the detour for sure!
Would recommend without hesitation.
The food is delicious here we went back a few times wile we were on holiday thank you very much the staff and food was amazing 😍
Excellent pizza and empanadas. Owners are from Venezuela and Italy. Very original. Cost is low. Great place and I highly recommend it.
Great spot beautiful family working it including the little once the pizza was super quick and fresh will definitely be back
Very tasty Pepperoni pizza. Pizza size was decent and price was 11.90€
Friendly service 😊 would visit again!

Funcionários simpáticos,atendimento 5 estrelas,comida muito boa, comemos dourada assada no forno e bacalhau da casa.
(Translated by Google) The fillets and the accompanying Russian salad were delicious. The aroma of the coffee, which we didn't even need to order, was very good. We didn't order dessert.
(Original)
Os filetes e a salada russa a acompanhar estavam deliciosos. O cheirinho para o café, que nem foi preciso pedir, estava muito bom. Nao pedimos sobremesa.

The taste of food is good. The service is awful. The waitress can't memorize the order. Waiting too long. I Don't recommend it if you have any other choice.
Recommendation to eat here. I enjoyed it. Be willing to wait as this place is small and popular with the locals.
Fresh, delicious and affordable seafood. The deserts were also very good looking and delicious. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the coffee, but even so, not the worst I've had.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
There are many restaurants in this zone, but this one is definitely worth a good try.
The food was delicious and the service excellent. We will be back
We chose this from the numerous seafood restaurants in Espinho and were not disappointed. Good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff and reasonable prices.
Muito bem！The best grilled squid I've ever eaten!
Amazing local restaurant! We had Lulas(squid) Dourada(bream) and Robalo(sea bass) with fresh salad and chips. They were all very good, dourada was my favourite, nicely grilled, seasoned with delicious olive oil and garlic. A true local fish restaurant experience, one that shouldn’t be missed, strongly recommend.

Great place and food, the typical place for locals. Tourist will love it.
Food was simple but good.
A bit on the pricy side for what is on menu.
Service was ok .
This is a really cool place, specially in summer to enjoy the view of Douro River and the Oporto hill. The food and service is good and you will feel cozy here. The price is accessible for what you can get here.
The food was delicious and the service was great 😊
Great place for grilled locally caught fish.
Good food, amusing waiters
Good fresh fish.
