Nice bike path, nice asphalt. Fairly wide, but only in a few spots is the vegetation recovering. Recommended 👍

Known as the lungs of Vizela, the Parque das Termas is an open invitation to practice outdoor sports. Its main attraction? An impressive concentration of monumental trees, unique in the country, which transform this space into a green haven like no other in Portugal.

Yet another C13 Romanesque gem with sweeping vistas to the Rio Ovelha valley and the A4 motorway. Until 1455 it formed a part of a small female Benedictine complex. The original design of the church has been almost entirely preserved, despite some later alterations. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/church-of-saint-mary-of-gondar/

The imposing Gothic Revival structure overlooking the Vizela river and the Thermal Park on its opposite bank was commissioned in 1905 by a local politician, businessman and physician, dr Armindo Ribeiro de Faria to serve as the new town hall. But those plans fell through and instead it housed a private club, then a school and later even a wine warehouse. Abandoned and crumbling, in 2008 the Castle was bought by the local council or Câmara Municipal. Unfortunately its fortunes didn't exactly reverse because of the lack of funds. Worse still, in 2020 it was badly damaged by a fire. However there seems to be some hope on the horizon with a new plan of restoration adopted by the Câmara in March 2021.

Beautiful country house with some interesting details. A private property, it seems abandoned and sadly is visibly falling into disrepair. The road outside is cobblestones but it's a relatively short stretch between good asphalt.
