パソス・デ・フェレイラのおすすめライド

The Ponte dos Arcos is a 19th-century historic structure in Valongo, Portugal. Built to irrigate the fertile lands of Campo, it also served as a pedestrian crossing. Recently restored, it is now an icon of local heritage.

This C12 Romanesque church used to be a part of a larger monastic complex run until C15 by the Order of the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine. The main and side portals are certainly very impressive, so are the sculptures found all around the building, but the most striking feature must be the partially preserved funerary galilee in front, with two bay bell tower. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/monastery-of-saint-peter-of-ferreira/

An imposing C14 fortified manor house stands at the end of the village and shares a wall with a contemporary building. It has been impressively restored inside with wooden stairs and floors. There's also a art mini gallery, with pictures and sculptures created by local artists. There's a Tourist Information Centre next to the tower but it looks closed for good. A kind lady from the house on the right of the entrance gate opened the Torre for me and showed me around. Obrigado :) https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/tower-of-the-alcoforados/

In an economically very developed area but with a strong agricultural tradition, Lousada also has a monumental heritage that deserves to be visited.

An interesting aqueduct constructed in 1875-78. It helped develop local maize cultivation. In 2013 it was converted into a pedestrian crossing over the River Ferreira.

Apparently from the town of Sobrado hark as many as four Volta a Portugal cycling race winners. Quite an achievement.
