    Hiking

    Originating in the Caldeirão Mountains, this stream meanders down to the Guadiana, preserving one of the best-preserved riverbeds in the river basin along its mountainous course.

    In winter, it rushes down, carrying mud, sediment, and vegetation debris, carving the valley with sheer force. But it is in spring that it is reborn, crystal clear and fresh, until the summer heat causes it to shrink into thin streams, leaving only shimmering pools in the dry riverbed.
