Begin in the garden
Start in Passeio Alegre and continue towards the fortress of São João Baptista da Foz
The walk covers Foz itself; travel from central Porto is separate
Keep the fortress as an exterior stop unless current entry arrangements confirm otherwise
Finish by the ocean
Continue towards Felgueiras Lighthouse using the permitted waterfront paths
The lighthouse is a viewing destination, not a promised interior visit
When waves or barriers close the breakwater, finish on the protected shore and keep well back from spray
