This is more of a Must Taste Tip...
Arcos de Valdevez is famous for the well-known "Rebuçados dos Arcos", which are very basic caramel candy. They are traditional and very popular at the «romarias», the religious and gastronomic gatherings.

You`ll like to be with your friends in this patio during the day or even the night, where you can look at a nice landscape, right close to the river.

In Soajo you can see a group of 24 Espigueiros. They belongs everyone, as long as they need. They were designed for storing grain and corn at the proper humidity.

I choosed them to show you an exemple of Kindeness from the arcuenses- people from Arcos. They have what you can call
"community spirit"

Everybody, like I said help eachother when it`s necessary.

Vez River

This is a fluvial beach, but it`s perfect for having fun with friends or being with the family.
Nearby you can see the recent municipal swimming-pool with waves and everything!
You have a gym inside too.
