Location

Cabanas Roundabout is located in the urban area of Carvalha, integrated into the parish of Fânzeres, in the municipality of Gondomar. This point is a prominent feature in the local urban landscape, set within a predominantly residential area. It serves as an important connecting node, linking different paths and infrastructures in the locality.

A Hub for Active Mobility

For visitors, Cabanas Roundabout stands out as the starting point for one of the routes of the Avenida Dr. Mário Soares Cycle Path. This cycle path is recognized as one of the largest of its kind in an urban context in Portugal. Thus, this location is ideal for those looking to explore the area by bike or on foot, offering direct access to an extensive network of paths dedicated to soft mobility.

Urban Integration and Environment

Cabanas Roundabout is an example of recent urban requalification in the region. Its structure, and that of the cycle path connected to it, were inaugurated in July 2019, as part of the transformation of the former Avenida da Conduta into the modern Avenida Dr. Mário Soares. The cycle path, with its characteristic red asphalt pavement, is often flanked by tree lines that separate it from the road, creating a more pleasant and green environment for those who use it.
