Hear traditional Fado in Porto’s São Bento da Vitória Monastery, with a guided visit, Port wine, and Singeverga liqueur for $15.
“It was a lovely experience. Our taxi was late after the first driver dropped the job, and the team made sure we could join the experience when we arrived, and even brought us the liqueur we had missed at the start. The fado performance was sublime, really talented performers. Unfortunately we could not catch a lot of what was said about the monastery as it was quite hard for the person explaining to project in the big space so everyone could hear. But it was all excellent value for money - a glass of port was offered during the performance, too.”
