The top of Monte de Avelheira offers a magnificent view, allowing you to admire the landscape all the way to the coast, a panorama that combines the sacred with the natural spectacle. There is also the chapel of the same name, dating back to the 1930s. It is a Marian sanctuary with a small chapel, stage, bandstand, and crosses.
