At the mouth of the Ave river 30 kilometres north of Porto, Vila do Conde has about 27,642 residents. The Mosteiro de Santa Clara, a fourteenth-century convent dominating the hillside above the river, was one of the wealthiest religious houses in medieval Portugal. Its 999-metre aqueduct, built in the seventeenth century with 999 arches, supplied the convent with water from Povoa de Varzim and is one of the longest aqueducts in the country.
Vila do Conde has produced lace (renda de bilros) since the seventeenth century, and bobbin-lace makers can still be seen working on the waterfront during the summer. The Museu de Rendas de Bilros documents the craft. The Alfandega Regia (Royal Customs House), a sixteenth-century building on the riverfront, reflects the town's importance as a shipbuilding centre during the Age of Discovery. The town built some of the carracks that sailed to India.
The Metro do Porto Blue Line connects Vila do Conde to central Porto. The beach, Praia de Vila do Conde, stretches south from the river mouth. Hotels in Vila do Conde accommodate companion meetings.
