Across the Douro from Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia has about 70,810 residents and is inseparable from the port wine industry. The riverside lodges of Taylor's, Graham's, Sandeman, and dozens of other producers have aged port wine here for centuries, taking advantage of the cooler, more humid conditions on the south bank. Most lodges offer tours and tastings, and the waterfront Cais de Gaia has been redeveloped with restaurants and the WOW (World of Wine) cultural district.
The Dom Luis I bridge, an iron arch designed by Theophile Seyrig (a collaborator of Gustave Eiffel) and completed in 1886, connects the upper and lower levels of both cities. The upper deck carries the Porto metro, while the lower deck handles road traffic. The Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, a sixteenth-century circular monastery above the bridge, is a UNESCO World Heritage component and served as the Duke of Wellington's headquarters during the Battle of Porto in 1809.
Gaia's Atlantic coastline stretches fifteen kilometres south from the Douro mouth, with beaches at Madalena, Valadares, and Granja drawing surfers and bathers. The Gaia cable car connects the riverside lodges to the upper city near the monastery. Hotels throughout Gaia and Porto accommodate companion meetings.
