The very modern church towers over the city. Along with the rest of the complex on the hill, it's worth seeing.

Nice bike path, nice asphalt. Fairly wide, but only in a few spots is the vegetation recovering. Recommended 👍

Nice climb, steady and great for pushing. Nice view at the top, and there's a fountain halfway up/down.

Mondim de Basto, on the banks of the Tâmega, holds memories of many peoples. Although it was only founded in the 12th century, during the reign of D. Sancho I, its roots are much older.

Very tastefully designed, not overdone

The Castelo da Povoa de Lanhoso is a must-see, as well as having restaurants available, it has a wonderful view.

The plans for the building were drawn up by the Portuguese architect José Marques da Silva. Work began on August 6, 1930. Marques da Silva broke with traditional forms of church construction in Portugal and heavily influenced the Art Deco style of the 1930s. Locally sourced granite was used almost exclusively in the construction. During construction, a fire broke out on February 4, 1939, which destroyed an image of the Immaculate Conception and a carving crowning the main altar. This delayed the completion of the church. The church was consecrated on September 14, 1947, without the architect present, who had died three months earlier.
