Walkway across the River Paiva

After lots of adventures full of adrenaline and emotion, I decided to opt for a more relaxing chapter for my next experience.

I wanted to do something more linked to nature and which would give me time to just enjoy the countryside.

My boyfriend recommended quite a recent place which I had never visited. This trip let me appreciate the landscape around the River Paiva while I had a little stroll. In other words, he recommended a visit to the "Passadiços do Paiva" (Walkways of the Paiva).

So, my destination became Arouca, where there's one of the two possible entrances to the Walkway.

Arouca is a municipal situated in the North of Portugal, belonging to the Aveiro district. From what I saw, this region is linked to gastronomy and is very proud of its history, and it has a Geopark, which I couldn't visit because I didn't have enough time.

Arriving in Arouca, we progressed to Espiuna, a little village where there is one of the possible entrances to the Walkways (the other is in Areinho).

I would highly recommend this place for those who want a different experience, and who want to refresh their body and mind.
