    Hiking

    In the heart of the Serra do Caldeirão, between dirt tracks and winding paths, lies a valley of unmistakable beauty. In the background, the Odeleite river meanders, known far beyond the borders of Portugal.

    An aerial photograph revealed that the dam's reservoir features the silhouette of a blue dragon, a symbol of strength and good luck in Chinese culture. The image was seen around the world and thus the legend of the “Blue Dragon River” was born.
