Piódão

Highlight • Settlement

Piódão, the charming schist village with blue doors, is still home to around 170 inhabitants. It is said that the blue doors came about by chance (it was the only colour available) and ended up becoming a tradition. In the centre, next to the square, there is a small, lively café and a restaurant serving regional dishes.

The car park is at the entrance to the village (there are around 50 spaces) and there are public toilets right in the centre, everything ready for a peaceful visit to this living postcard of the mountains.

Foz d'Égua

Highlight • Beach

Hidden in the Açor mountains, near the historic village of Piódão, the river beach of Foz d’Égua is a small paradise, especially in summer. Where the Piódão and Chãs d’Égua streams meet, a body of water forms, surrounded by rustic bridges, old shale mills and rocks shaped by the current.

The landscape is serene, but getting there is a bit of an adventure: a rough trail winds down to the water, crossing terraces and shale steps that make the arrival part of the experience.

Piódão Parish Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church stands out in the village due to its contrast with the traditional houses. The interior altar is carved from gilded wood, and the walls are tiled. The mother church, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, stands out from the small, two-story houses. Completely whitewashed and with its unique cylindrical buttresses, it was built by the locals in the 19th century using their own financial resources.
