Transport

As the narrow gauge Sabor line (Linha do Sabor) ceased to run in 1988,[6] the closest railway station is now Pocinho in the Douro Line with trains to Tua, Peso da Régua, Livração, Marco de Canaveses, Penafiel, Paredes, Ermesinde (connections to Braga, Guimarães, Viana do Castelo, Rio Tinto and Porto).

The old Carviçais railway station lies abandoned since the closure of the line.
