Event details

Event Description

This activity proposal will take us to discover the charms of our Tagus River on a Sunset and Moonlight Cruise, not only for all photography lovers, but for all those who like to discover the charms of nature, often so close to our doorstep.
In the evening, we'll visit the mouchões, the Aldeias Avieiras, such as Palhota and Escaroupim, watch the herons return to their island at dusk, pass by Ilha dos Amores, and return to Escaroupim, our starting point.

Come with us and be amazed by these natural landscapes so close to Lisbon.

There will also be a snack on board for those interested, so that everyone can enjoy some delicacies accompanied by red and white wine, etc.

Escaroupim

About 7 kilometres from Salvaterra de Magos is the village of EscaroupimThis is an excellent option for a weekend, or just a Saturday or Sunday, to enjoy the calm and tranquillity if you want to get away from Lisbon, which is about 70 kilometres from the city on the N 118.

Escaroupim is a typical fishing village, formed in the mid-30s. Alves Redol called these families "river nomads" who, during the winter months, travelled from Vieira de Leiria to the River Tagus for the winter fishing campaigns, returning in the summer to their homeland to fish in the sea. Some of these fishermen stayed on the banks of the Tagus, forming small fishing villages along the river.

From an ornithological point of view, this place stands out for its heron colony, located in a mouchão on the Tagus.

Village of Palhota

Palhota is a typical fishing village, built with wooden houses on stilts, whose origins are lost in time. Alves Redol, a great Portuguese writer who wrote a lot about the Tagus and its people, once lived in this village.
