The Arrábida Bridge is an arch bridge over the Douro River that connects Porto (through the Arrábida area) to Vila Nova de Gaia. Since the 1930s, it was necessary to create alternative connections to the old bridges (D. Maria Pia and D. Luís bridges) in order to respond to the growing flow of road traffic. At the time of its construction in 1963, the bridge had the largest reinforced concrete arch of any bridge in the world. The total length of the platform is 614.6m, with a width of 26.5m. Its span is 270 m, and 52 m of arrow, this arch consists of two parallel hollow ribs, 8 m wide, linked together by longitudinal and transverse bracing. It had two carriageways and two side lanes for pedestrians and cyclists. In the 1990s, the number of road lanes was changed. The engineer responsible for its design and construction was Edgar António de Mesquita Cardoso, who had the collaboration of the architect Inácio Peres Fernandes and the engineer José Francisco de Azevedo e Silva.
3.
Ponte Infante Dom Henrique, also known as Ponte do Infante, is a road bridge that connects Vila Nova de Gaia to Porto, over the Douro River in Portugal. Engineer José Antonio Fernández Ordóñez was responsible for the design of this bridge, designed by engineers António Adão da Fonseca and Francisco Millanes Mato. The bridge is 371 meters long and 20 meters wide, with two carriageways in each direction. It has a 1 m wide central divider and 3 m side walkways with security guard and guardrails. The lighting is placed at a low level, allowing perfect lighting of the road, without shadows.

The yacht tour in Porto was an amazing experience, despite the chilly and cloudy weather. The crew was fantastic, and the free champagne was a delightful surprise. The view was simply breathtaking and made the trip worth it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto!
