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.
