Getting there: Nortada is on Rua de Sá da Bandeira, a 5-minute walk from Bolhão metro and the Bolhão market. The route finishes beside Campanhã station, which has metro lines back to the centre and mainline trains.

Sigilo to Dos Diabos (about 1.8 km, through Bonfim) is the long leg, about 25 minutes on foot. To shorten it, take the metro from Bolhão (a few minutes' walk from Sigilo) three stops east to Campanhã.

Armazém da Cerveja and Sigilo are just round the corner from each other (about 120 m), so you can easily swap their order.

Food: Nortada for a full meal. Armazém lets you bring your own food, and Dos Diabos has a kitchen.

Optional add-on: the FC Porto museum and Dragão stadium are about 1.5 km north-east of Dos Diabos.
