This viewpoint is located in a privileged place in front of a spectacular rocky cliff, which if you pass by on your bike on a hot day when the heat reflects its image on this wall... I think you'll have to stop and rest for a few seconds.

This descending valley, which runs alongside the Tagus River for many kilometres, is full of unique and unrepeatable corners, due to the capricious formations that occur every few metres.

What an exclusive paradise and privileged setting this lagoon has, whose waters come almost exclusively from underground seepage. Swimming is permitted in this lagoon, but recreational diving is prohibited.

This is undoubtedly one of the Tagus's great wonders. Crossing the beautiful river on a suspension bridge like this one, where motor vehicles are prohibited, reduces the number of crossing options. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy the oscillating motion experienced by the bridge's anchorage. Absolutely recommended!
