Capela do Passo de Veronica One of 7 chapels of the "Passos of the Ovar" Considered a site of public interest since 1946, they consist of seven 18th-century Rococo chapels, setting an architectural and artistic record unique in Portugal. The route of the chapels symbolizes the passion of Christ: (1) Passo do Pretorio chapel (interior of the parish church) (2) Passo da Queda Chapel (Rua Alexandre Herculano) (3) Passo do Encontro Chapel (Rua Alexandre Herculano) (4) Passo do Cirineu Chapel (Rua Cândido dos Reis) (5) Passo da Verónica Chapel (Praça da República) (6) Chapel of the Passo das Daughters of Jerusalem (Largo Mouzinho de Albuquerque) (7) Calvary Chapel (Largo dos Combatente)

The dense forests along the coast are a great environmental asset. Originally a natural defense against the storms and sand dunes drifting inlands, they are now mostly replaced by pine plantations. Still, nice to bike through green nature and have some shade (at least when the sun stands lower). The smoothly paved bike trail runs parallel to the road but safely separate.
