Please check local regulations for: Rio Paiva
Location: Alvarenga, Aveiro, Portugal
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.However, if you just want to walk across the bridge and back, this is no problem with your ticket booking (online).The Alvarenga side is recommended for people who want to avoid the many wooden steps and just want the pure bridge experience.

The access from Alvarenga is not so crowded and the bridge can be walked on from both sides.
