MAIA IS A TERRITORY WITH A STRONG CONNECTION WITH ITS HISTORY, AND YET PROJECTED INTO A FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH.
Maia’s municipality is located four miles to the north of Oporto. It’s a land of enviable accessibilities through the International Airport and the Municipal Aerodrome. Visiting Maia is like walking in a harmonious symbiosis between rural and urban areas.
Maia is gastronomy. Claimed as a destiny of tradition at the table, typical restaurants and the art of good service, where the promotion of the land and the endogenous products are maintained.
But Maia is also faith. Camino de Santiago has three different routes in Maia. A path to be explored through spirituality, religiosity and well-being.
Maia is even nature. It ranks the second place of the greenest cities of Portugal.
And Maia is sport. In a sportier and leisure aspect, you may enjoy a walk in Maia Ecopath or attend one of the several sport events that the city provides.
Maia is finally art. In Gramaxo Foundation, the headquarters, a project by the architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, cover several exhibition rooms and a movie-worthy outdoor space.
Let yourself be swept away by Maia scents. A destiny to relax.
