Afurada is a fishing village, situated on the left bank of the River Douro almost next to the river mouth and one of the most typical in Gaia. It is essentially recognized by its fishing traditions, by the feast in honour of S. Pedro commemorated every year on the 29 June and by the pilgrimage of S.
