    Hiking

    If you cross the bridge at Alvarenga and then take the wooden walkway along the Rio Paiva to Espiunca, you should remember that you will need a taxi from there back to the starting point. A later return via the Arouca bridge is not possible.

    The Alvarenga side is recommended for people who want to avoid the many wooden steps and just want the pure bridge experience.
