Póvoa de Varzim, located in the vibrant northern region of Portugal, will captivate visitors with its beaches. The urban areas are, during the summer months, the heart of tourist activity and, just a few steps from the sand, you can find restaurants, pastry shops, and stores. The beaches located in Aguçadoura and Estela, on the other hand, are perfect for those seeking tranquility and more privacy. They are also ideal for surfing, bodyboarding, and windsurfing. What all the beaches in Póvoa de Varzim have in common is a coastline rich in iodine, and the benefits of regular exposure to this element, through the air and seawater, are well known. Iodine can boost immunity, prevent respiratory infections, speed up healing, and improve skin health, particularly acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Not only can the body benefit from bathing on Pove beaches. The iodine-rich sea air, inhalation of salty air, and exposure to the sea breeze can regulate sleep-wake cycles, providing more restful nights and contributing to mental well-being. For those who want to immerse themselves in the local culture, there is a place to discover in Póvoa de Varzim its gastronomy (Pescada Poveira, Rabanada Poveira, Francesinha Poveira, and Sopa da Póvoa), its festivals (São Pedro, Os Dias no Parque), its events (Correntes d’Escritas, International Music Festival), its religious heritage (House-Museum of Blessed Alexandrina of Balasar, Romanesque Church of São Pedro de Rates) and the Caminos de Santiago.
