    Hiking

    Rice is an essential food for humankind and has been part of our diet for centuries. Rice farming is an agricultural activity associated with hot and humid climates and requires specific conditions for its production, and the Sado Estuary region offers ideal conditions for its cultivation.

    Its origins, according to few written accounts, are believed to have occurred when Muslims entered the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century, bringing new agricultural improvements and irrigation techniques. Its adoption by the Arabs led to its further expansion to the West.

    The rice fields in the Santa Catarina area, Alcácer do Sal, border the Sítimos stream and are irrigated by water from the Pego do Altar dam.
