Experiences
Arouca, land of hills and valleys
Rivers that furrow the mountain, that descend fast or that form long pools with their river beaches, trails that wind the mountain or that accompany the rivers, museums that show the history of man and the land.
And a never ending, as far as the imagination takes us!
Paiva Walkways
The route extends from the river beaches of Areinho and Espiunca, lying between them, the Vau beach. A journey through biology, geology and archeology that will remain, of course, in heart, soul and in mind of any nature lover.
