The map
About this Arouca map poster
Arouca lies in the district of Aveiro in northern Portugal, in a valley enclosed by mountains. The town grew around the Monastery of Arouca, a large religious house founded in the Middle Ages, and on the map the monastery's broad footprint still anchors the compact centre. Around it, roads twist out into the hills.
The municipality is part of the Arouca UNESCO Global Geopark, known for its geology, including the giant trilobite fossils found in the area. It is also home to the Paiva Walkways, a boardwalk along the gorge of the Paiva River, and to 516 Arouca, one of the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridges, which spans the same gorge.
An Arouca map poster shows a small town held in place by steep terrain: short streets on the valley floor, then roads that climb and coil through the slopes. It is a map for people who have walked those trails or crossed that bridge and want to remember the landscape as a whole.

Mountain roads
Beyond the valley floor, roads wind and switch back across the hills, drawing long, curling lines around the compact town centre.
Paiva gorge
In the wider municipality, the Paiva River cuts a deep valley, followed by the well-known walkways and crossed by the 516 Arouca suspension bridge.

Why Arouca
A map that means something
Arouca draws walkers, geology enthusiasts and families from across Portugal and beyond. A map poster makes a lasting souvenir of a trip to the gorge, and it means just as much to people from the valley who know every bend of the mountain roads.
You can personalise the title and subtitle, for example with the date of a hike, and edit the coordinates line. Paper and Sand suit the monastery town's older character, and Blueprint gives the terrain a technical feel. Files are $9, and printed posters are available too.
