The Alte river, which runs through the centre of the village has been blocked to build fresh water pools just before the village, The 'Fonte" is famous with Portugese locals and attracts lots of families and day trippers during the season. Theres a couple of bars and restaurants as well a big public BBQ. The council have developed the site to include an outdoor bandstand and a seating area where public concerts can be hosted through the year.
But the secret natual spa is a waterfall hidden in a ravine downstream from the fonte, behind the cemetery.
We've done Yoga sessions there and in March I've started chilly dipping (cold water swimming) in the waterfall. The waterfall is different colours depending on the sky , how recently it rained and cloudy cover, but normally its magical.
