Highlight • Viewpoint

Just before Adeia Nova there is a small chapel. And next to this a huge swing. You also have a wonderful view from this spot!

The Dom Zameiro Bridge crosses the Ave River in a bucolic setting of vineyards and fields, connecting the parishes of Bagunte and Macieira da Maia. Although reminiscent of Roman architecture, its origins date back to the 12th or 13th centuries. Part of the old Via Veteriz, the medieval road that connected Porto to Barcelos and Esposende, it continues to welcome pilgrims today, with a small resting place. Windmills and a rural house complete the serene picture of a place where time seems to slow down.

Saint Michael of Arcos Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In Arcos, the highlight is its charming Romanesque bridge: the Ponte de São Miguel de Arcos, or simply Ponte de Arcos. It's estimated that this medieval bridge's origins date back to the 12th century. After years of supporting road traffic, it was freed from that burden in 2018 and is now pedestrian-only. A peaceful crossing with centuries of history beneath your feet.

Church of São Pedro de Rates

Highlight • Religious Site

The Monastery of São Pedro de Rates (Portuguese: Mosteiro de Rates) is a former Benedictine abbey located in the parish of São Pedro de Rates, in the municipality of Póvoa de Varzim, in the Porto district, northern Portugal.

All that remains of the former monastery complex today is the Romanesque church Igreja de São Pedro de Rates, also known as the Românica de Rates, dedicated to its patron saint, São Pedro de Rates. Due to its art-historical significance as the "nucleus" of Portuguese Romanesque architecture and its historical significance for the emerging Kingdom of Portugal, the church was registered and protected as a National Monument in 1910.
