a lot of new faces this week, bem-vindos! 👋
if you’re new here, here’s how this works: every week i share a curated list of what’s happening around porto. if there’s no price mentioned, the event is free!
you’ll find a mix of meet-ups, sports, local markets, concerts, art workshops… basically anything that keeps the week interesting and gives you more chances to meet people and try new things.

🔦 local spotlight
negra café just opened a new spot!
say hello to negra clérigos: a smaller, cozier version of the classic, tucked right in the heart of the city. they opened last week and they’re already giving comfy-brunch vibes.
you’ll find them at rua de josé falcão 32, open every day from 8 to 7:30pm.
expect the usual goodness: toasts, cakes, salads, pancakes… basically everything you need for an easy brunch or an afternoon bite.
até já,
sara
