 Rua da Junqueira runs from the civic center located in Praça do Almada square to the waterfront in a perpendicular east-west axis.It is rich in 19th century and early 20th century architecture.It was once the street that people from Northern Portugal used to reach Póvoa's beaches and today, despite it lost its usefulness as a way to reach the waterfront, people still want to go throw the street.
