In charming Arouca you will find the Arouca Monastery, an architectural and historical landmark, and the picturesque streets and squares that exude ancient charm. The local gastronomy, in particular the convent sweets, is an attraction in itself. The Arouca Geopark is famous for its Paiva Walkways, offering spectacular trails and views over the Paiva River, as well as trilobite fossils, highlighting an important geological and natural heritage.
