Caniços
The Caniços station is located about 3 kilometres far from Vila das Aves station and lies by the Rio Ave river, just several metres far from junction of the Rio Ave river with the Vizela river. This place is bridged over by a new viaduct and the old one serve for pedestrians.
The station is composed with two tracks and the same number of platforms roofed with metal construction. The line 1 joins the main building with café and waiting room. There are also toilets in the building. Maybe the station is in vain constructed larger than it is neccessary. One can see rooms for ticket-office and space for ATM - multibanco, but neither the place is useful.
But the building is very interesting. It is decorated with tiles (blue color dominates, it is accompanyed with red and yellow color) which makes the station a little bit funny. Also architecture of the station is remarkable. The dominant element of the station is shape of cube that is raised with large yellow clocks.
