Testimonials of the experience:

Long description of the experience: The route starts at the centenary estate Entre as Águas. The next point of interest on the route is Monte das Eirinhas, from there the route follows a paved road until the entrance to the pine forest of the Alqueva dam. At the Alqueva perimeter, it is possible to walk the last meters along the banks of the large lake until you reach the destination that is the Alqueva dam Marina and here you can enjoy this privileged area.
