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.

In Arcos, the highlight is its charming Romanesque bridge: the Ponte de São Miguel de Arcos, or simply Ponte de Arcos. It's estimated that this medieval bridge's origins date back to the 12th century. After years of supporting road traffic, it was freed from that burden in 2018 and is now pedestrian-only. A peaceful crossing with centuries of history beneath your feet.

The Dom Zameiro Bridge crosses the Ave River in a bucolic setting of vineyards and fields, connecting the parishes of Bagunte and Macieira da Maia. Although reminiscent of Roman architecture, its origins date back to the 12th or 13th centuries. Part of the old Via Veteriz, the medieval road that connected Porto to Barcelos and Esposende, it continues to welcome pilgrims today, with a small resting place. Windmills and a rural house complete the serene picture of a place where time seems to slow down.
