Espiunca Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The Paiva Walkway is a unique place to visit. Engineering in harmony with nature. You can enter the trail both ends, it will cost you only a 1€ and you can book your ticket via their website. Just search in Google for Passadiços de Paiva.

It is 8.7km long trail and most of the times you will walk on wooden walkway as you can see on the picture. Keep in mind that there are 450 steps upwards and 300 downwards included too 😎

Espiunca is a small village in Rio Paiva (Paiva River). 
A new wooden walkway is almost ready which will take us for a 10km walk along the river banks or you can adventure in one of the few paths along the mountain.
Some river beaches can be found and used :-)
There's nothing around: just the sound of the river and the sound of Nature!
