Regufe

Neighborhood of Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal


Neighborhood of Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal

Regufe is a neighborhood of the Portuguese city of Póvoa de Varzim, located in the south part of Matriz / Mariadeira district. It has very different topologies and mostly residential development.

Regufe is an ancient place: a former village around the town of Póvoa de Varzim. Regufe's name is of Suebi origin from Rekaufus: Rec + wulf (wolf).

It was a farming and cattle area, but in its farms and woodlands, houses and buildings started being raised. In certain areas of the neighborhood, mostly on the border with Vila do Conde, this kind of living can still be seen.

Farol de Regufe (22 metres tall), a metallic lighthouse painted red, is the symbol of the quarter.
