Conventual sweets are one of the greatest expressions of Portuguese gastronomic heritage, deeply linked to religious and cultural tradition. Originating in convents and monasteries since the Middle Ages, they reached their peak between the 17th and 18th centuries. With limited access to ingredients, nuns and monks used their creativity to transform eggs and sugar into true culinary masterpieces. Egg yolks became the star, while the whites were used to pass on habits or filter wines. This surplus of egg yolks, combined with sugar imported from Brazil, gave rise to a diversity of sweets that continue to delight today. In Porto, this tradition takes center stage. Besides its famous wines and rich historical architecture, the city is home to true treasures of convent sweets. A three-hour walking tour of the historic center allows you not only to sample these delicacies but also to learn the stories and curiosities behind each sweet.

On a three-hour tour through the streets of Porto, ancient tiles guide us on a true journey through Portuguese history. We begin at São Bento Station, where more than 20,000 blue and white tiles depict historical scenes, such as the Battle of Valdevez and King John I&#39;s entry into the city. Next, we head to the imposing Cathedral, where the cloister reveals religious ceramic panels that contrast with the building&#39;s Romanesque austerity. We&#39;ll come across the Church of Santo Ildefonso, whose 20th-century façade chronicles the life of its patron saint. Following Rua 31 de Janeiro, we&#39;ll reach the Capela das Almas (Cape of Souls), famous for its exterior tiles depicting the lives of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine. And finally, we&#39;ll marvel at the Carmo Church, whose 18th-century tiled side stands out as a true masterpiece. Each panel, each detail, connects us with the past, transforming the tour into an artistic and cultural immersion into the soul of Porto.
