Fado concert
A tavern more than a hundred years old in Miragaia, by the Douro, where a concert of about an hour brings together both Portuguese Fado traditions. There’s no dinner, and the musicians play without microphones.
Fado Maior is an old tavern, and the concert is played close to the people listening: the musicians sit under three granite arches, a few steps from the first row. Just before they start, the door is closed and the lights go down. Nothing gets between you and the Fado. Fado Magazine considers it the best Fado experience in Porto, overall.
Portugal has two Fado traditions. Lisbon Fado, which turned up on the city’s streets in the nineteenth century, is the one most people know. The other began among university students in Coimbra in the early twentieth century, and it is still very popular with students in Porto, who sing it in the black cape and gown of the university. At Fado Maior each tradition has its own group, Coimbra first and then Lisbon, and you can hear the change before anyone sings: the Coimbra guitars are tuned a tone lower.
From the Ribeira it’s about ten minutes on foot, west along the Douro. Three minutes past the Alfândega, the old customs house, the tavern is on a street where people from the neighbourhood still live.

It was tucked away on a little side street and the whole venue sat maybe 50 people. There was a good view from almost every seat, and it was spacious enough where you weren’t on top of people, but it still felt intimate.The atmosphere is so intimate but comfortable with fantastic acoustics with the stone walls. There are plenty of places to wander to after the concert for food n drinks. This place offers just the concert performances, this is better, without the noise of people eating!The venue, with its picturesque granite arches, provides the intimacy and tradition required for a proper fado show.Os primeiros músicos e cantores tinham um lindo ritmo melódico ao som do fado de coimbra, emitiam bastante emoção.
