headwater of the Lis river, a river that cross the city of Leiria and flows into Praia da Vieira. An amazing place to visit during the winter and after some heavy raisn, where you can see the water coming from the earth.

The Lis River, whose source is in the town of Fontes, Cortes, is one of the few rivers in the country whose current flows from south to north and, in the final kilometres, from east to west.

In winter and early spring, it is possible to see water emerging from the ground in surprising quantities. In the summer months, the source is usually dry.
