Apart from attractions separately detailed, Póvoa de Varzim has more to offer. The great novelist Eça de Queirós (1845-1900) was born here and there is a monument to him outside the town hall. The 18th century Igreja Matriz, Lapa and Senhora das Dores churches are all worth visiting. Whilst visiting St Peter of Rates church see the ancient town hall, pillory, Senhor da Praça chapel and the nearby 11th century São Cristóvão church at Rio Mau. At Cape Santo André, the Penedo do Santo (Saint’s Rock) has a mark which fishermen believe to be a footprint of St Andrew (Santo André).
