Districts of Póvoa de Varzim

The urban area of Póvoa de Varzim in northern Portugal is divided into eleven districts (partes, lit.

"parts"), each with distinctive zones (zonas), which are significant areas of the city and have population and topological differences.

While most of the districts have been in common use by locals for generations, some designated names are rarely heard outside of the Planning Commission usage, such as "Parque da Cidade" or "Agro-Velho".

These have greater importance for the inhabitants during the Rusgas during Póvoa de Varzim Holiday on June 28 and 29.
