Heritage: The church houses notable altarpieces and funerary monuments of important families, such as the Pinheiro family. The Parish Church of Santa Maria de Barcelos is a point of historical and architectural interest for tourists and pilgrims traveling the Camino de Santiago.

Highlights and Route Landscape: The route crosses rural areas, small population centers, agricultural fields, and forest areas, offering a calm and pleasant environment. Localities: The ecotrail passes through several localities, including Amorim, Terroso, Laundos, Rates, Balazar, Gondifelos, Louro, and Brufe. Intermodality: A great advantage is the direct connection to the Vila Nova de Famalicão train station and the Porto Metro station in Póvoa de Varzim, facilitating access to the beginning and end of the route. Interconnection: The cycle path connects to the Formiga Ecotrail, allowing the ride to be extended.

Route Characteristics Length: The route is approximately 28 to 30 kilometers in total, connecting the rural interior (Famalicão) to the Atlantic coast (Póvoa de Varzim). Difficulty: It is a flat route, without major slopes or sharp curves, making it an easy and accessible route for everyone, including families with children. Surface: The surface is a mixture of macadam and, in some sections, asphalt, suitable for walking, running and cycling. Accessibility: The ecotrail is wheelchair accessible and has approximately 12 rest areas along the route.

The Famalicão–Póvoa de Varzim cycle path is, in fact, the Famalicão branch line cycle path. This route was built using the canal of the old railway branch line that connected Vila Nova de Famalicão and Póvoa de Varzim, and which ceased train service in 1995.

The Barcelos Bridge is more than just an entrance to the city. It's a gateway to its legends, like that of the rooster. Over the Cávado River, this Gothic stone bridge, commissioned by Count Pedro between 1325 and 1330, connects Barcelos to Barcelinhos and has been classified as a National Monument since 1910. And if the heat gets too much, right next door awaits a river beach perfect for a refreshing dip.
