Avis
Avis preserves the memory of the military order that gave its name to the Avis dynasty. In the historic center there are remains of the castle, walls, churches and the old convent complex. The Maranhão reservoir surrounds the landscape and allows activities and bathing areas in defined locations, not along the entire shore. The town combines heritage and inland water, and it is especially important to confirm heat, surveillance, access and services outside of high season. Praia Fluvial de Avis is a river beach selected in the Routes of Portugal.
