The eastern and southern parishes of Felgueiras, bordering the Tâmega river valley and rising towards the Serra de Santa Catarina, have more rural character. Roads in Torrados, Pombeiro de Ribavizela and the valley-side parishes are narrower and occasionally steep.

The IC25 and EN101 give good access to the main population centres throughout the municipality.
