The landmark of Viana do Castelo is in the area of the Areosa district, the largest district outside the core city. From here you can enjoy a great view of the harbor, the Rio Lima, the beach of Cabedelo and the city center. Further uphill in the north is a Celtic archaeological site. A path leads to Santa Luzia through the forest in the north and the main path from the city in the east. Next to the church is a café and the mountain station of the impressive Téleférico. A hike into the valley is also possible from here.

The ride overlapped a bit and that's where we went wrong by not following it long enough. We ended up in a riverbed on the way back downhill and should have just stayed on the path.
