Vila do Conde › Esposende

🗺 Stage Map

📖 Stage Description

The stage starts in Vila do Conde and quickly passes through Póvoa de Varzim, a lively seaside town with its casino, fishing harbour and houses decorated with traditional mosaic tiles. The two towns form a single coastal conurbation.

Beyond Póvoa, the path strikes out along long, deserted beaches. The pine forest of Apúlia, with its remarkable sea-smoothed boulders, provides a unique landscape on this coastal route.

Esposende, at the mouth of the Rio Cávado, brings this easy stage to a close with its old sea fort and the genuine atmosphere of a working fishing village.
