La contea fu soppressa nel 1886 e la citt\u00e0 divenne gradualmente un paese del comune di Arouca. Nei decenni successivi l'emigrazione, soprattutto verso il Brasile, segn\u00f2 la zona; le montagne offrivano anche un'altra risorsa: il tungsteno, estratto intensivamente durante le guerre del XX secolo, e sui pendii della parrocchia restano ancora gallerie e ricordi di quel boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Il fiume, i sentieri e la vita di montagna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oggi il Paiva d\u00e0 vita alla parrocchia: in canoa e a piedi si scende lungo il fiume, tra i paesaggi dell'antico entroterra a monte; <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/it\/da-visitare\/ponte-516-arouca\/\">Ponte 516 Arouca<\/a> gli escursionisti seguono i sentieri sui contrafforti del Montemuro, tra borghi di granito e brughiere.
