Amorim, Póvoa de Varzim

Amorim is a suburban area in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal.

In 2013, it was amalgamated in the civil parish known as União das Freguesias de Aver-o-Mar, Amorim e Terroso.

It is popular in the city for its bread, characteristically eaten at high temperatures just after being made – the Broa de Amorim.

Póvoa de Varzim and Vila do Conde made parish transfers in 1853, and Amorim was made part of Póvoa de Varzim since then.

Amorim is located just east of the city of Póvoa de Varzim; and borders Navais to the north, Terroso to the northwest, Beiriz to the southeast and Aver-o-Mar to the west.
