The Rio Vez Park is integrated into the urban area of Arcos de Valdevez, on the right bank of the river from which it takes its name. Its central position in the town makes it an easily accessible point, connecting the built environment to the serenity of the riverbanks. This space was conceived as a natural extension of the town's busiest area, inviting moments of pause and contemplation.
