Poço de S. Tiago Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Poço de S. Tiago Bridge, built between 1912 and 1913, is a remarkable 165-meter engineering work along the Vouga River. Integrated into the Vale do Vouga Line, closed in 1990, it was converted into an eco-track, revitalizing the old Paradela station as a tourist attraction.

For cyclists on road bikes: be careful, the bridge is passable, but the surface is gravel. It does not present significant technical difficulties, but it is important to take this into account.
