素晴らしい、印象的なダムです。

After the construction of the Santa Clara dam, the Mira River began to have little water as it passed through Santa Clara. In my youth, I often crossed the river over those cement blocks, with the water almost wetting my boots, and other times, it wouldn't allow crossing the river at that point; we had to go around using the bridge on the road. Different times. 😂🚲

It's impossible to miss this dam: the enormous stone and cement wall in the middle of the mountains invites you to stop for a moment and admire its grandeur. There's a path below, from where you can see the massive structure at river level, and you can also visit it from above, revealing sensational panoramas of the cliffs, the reservoir, and the surrounding greenery.

A wonderful swimming dam. It'll be packed full in the summer of 2025. Water, that is. Otherwise, very quiet. Pleasantly warm. The author tested it.

The Castle of Cola is an Iron Age hillfort that was later reinforced as an Islamic fortress in Portugal’s Alentejo region, now classified as a National Monument. It forms the centre of the Castro da Cola archaeological park, which features Megalithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze, and Iron Age remains. The polygonal fortification, with thick walls, a towered entrance, and a rock-hewn cistern, was strategically positioned to guard a key route into the Algarve.

Amoreiras‑Gare originated around the historic 1888 railway station, later becoming a small industrial and commercial hub in the 20th century. Today, it hosts local events like the traditional “Festas de Maio” and offers nature trails for hikers.
