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! Portugal
