Calves (Póvoa de Varzim)

Calves (Póvoa de Varzim)

Calves is a Portuguese hamlet and street located in the parishes of Beiriz and Argivai in the municipality of Póvoa de Varzim, part of it is included in the city despite its built-up continuity as part of Gândara district in Argivai, it is divided by the A28 Motorway - the inland border of the urban area.

Calves is one of the most romantic spots of Póvoa de Varzim, with the ruins of Aqueduct of Santa Clara within bushes and palace houses built by returning Portuguese immigrants in Brazil (the "Brasileiros"), returning after becoming rich in that country. Calves is also home to the factory where "Tapetes de Beiriz" (Beiriz carpets) are produced. Despite its bucolic appearance the area suffers from suburban growth.
