Fado by Casa da Guitarra
Fado concerts without dinner in Porto began with Casa da Guitarra in 2013, which presents a traditional and intimate fado show lasting approximately 60 minutes in the historic center of Porto.

In addition, it has its own luthier, who gives voice to the Portuguese guitar in daily concerts.

The House of Fado
Casa do Fado was born from the meeting of three great friends who, driven by their passion for fado, decided to create this project with the aim of paying tribute to fado. Thus, in two different fado houses, it is now possible to enjoy a fado concert every day, next to the Sé or in Ribeira do Porto.
