Agueda is a river town with all basic services, though accommodation options are fewer than you might expect for a town this size. The albergue and Celeste are not centrally located — from the bridge, head straight up the hill, passing the Parque Alta Vila along the way. The park is the best spot in town for a rest.
Every summer, Agueda decorates its streets with hundreds of colourful umbrellas suspended overhead — the AgitAgueda festival. The installation has been photographed millions of times and has put this otherwise unremarkable town on the tourist map. If you're walking in July, you'll see it. The rest of the year, it's a pleasant enough place to stop.

Like Coimbra, you do not need to go into town and can instead turn left at the end of the bridge. The neighboring town is Paredes, which is residential. The going is uphill, and the residential areas continue beyond the railway crossing.
There is a brief industrial stretch before crossing a busy road into Mourisca.
