リオマイオアの湖・トップ7

This place is really very nice to take a break and why not have a picnic! The setting of this small lake is relaxing, I recommend it!

Artificial lake, with a very pleasant surrounding area. In summer, especially at weekends, the area is very popular with families and groups for picnics. Note: The description below seems to refer to another place, which I think is the Ermida Bridge

Surrounded by beautiful and abundant trees, it is a bridge with a Romanesque arch. There are several theories regarding its construction; some argue that it was built during the reign of D. João II, in order to facilitate the King's movement when he went to meet Queen D. Leonor for a swim in Caldas, while others claim that it was built in the 19th century due to a technical issue, namely its width. Interestingly, this bridge supports two enormous pine trees at the top of the road.

Opened in 2005, this dam never fully served the purposes for which it was created. After recent works (2022/2023), it is now expected that it will be able to serve farmers in the region with water for irrigation and even be used for leisure purposes. The surrounding region has interesting paths for mountain biking or gravel cycling.

Paúl de Manique do Intendente is an area of around 97,000 square meters that constitutes a very rich natural heritage of great importance in terms of biodiversity, namely in terms of avifauna, already recognized at national level. It is an ecosystem composed of more than 180 species, where you can find 5 "simply unique" species such as the striped tortoise, the common caiman, the otter, the black stork and the reed. The municipality has been focusing on promoting this space, having recently advanced with the installation of an infrastructure for the observation of the fauna and flora of Pául, which aims to promote knowledge, protection and preservation of this unique and so rich ecosystem for the Municipality of Azambuja and for the entire region.
