O Rio Mira
O Mira nasce na serra do Caldeirão, a 470 m de altitude e a sua bacia hidrográfica está quase toda contida no concelho de Odemira, o maior concelho português em área. O rio Mira foi utilizado, desde tempos muito recuados, como fonte de recursos, como via de comunicação e como fonte de energia renovável (moinhos de maré). No estuário do rio Mira, o efeito de maré sente‑se até um pouco a montante de Odemira. O principal afluente do rio Mira é a ribeira do Torgal. Da ponte do Sol‑posto para montante ou para jusante, é possível contemplar galerias ripícolas deslumbrantes e bem conservadas. Ocorrem espécies de grande valor para a conservação na ribeira do Torgal. ma das espécies emblemáticas do rio Mira é a enguia‑europeia (Anguilla anguilla), um peixe migrador com um ciclo de vida fascinante. O único local do mundo onde ocorre o escalo‑do‑mira (Squalius torgalensis), um pequeno peixe, é numa pequena área da bacia do rio Mira, principalmente na ribeira do Torgal. Tem o estatuto de conservação “criticamente em perigo”. No verão, o escalo‑do‑mira é especialmente vulnerável quando fica limitado aos pegos, zonas mais profundas das ribeiras, que conservam água durante o estio.
E como curiosidade, o rio Mira é dos poucos rios portugueses que corre na direção Sudoeste-Noroeste. O estuário do rio Mira tem cerca de 150m de largura máxima, profundidade média de 6m e máxima de 13m. Antigamente era designado de “Rio Mestre de água Salgada”, pois era o maior da região, onde a influência das marés chegava até Odemira. O número de moinhos de Maré no rio Mira chegou a cerca de 15.

This is a walk that will take you through the centuries, offering a unique insight into Setúbal's past and present, with its fortresses, Roman road and urban charm. Don't miss the chance to explore this fascinating route rich in history.
Some of the points of interest on the walk:

Albarquel Fort
The Albarquel Fort corresponds to the paradigm of Portuguese 17th century military architecture of the period. It is a fortified construction with a trapezoidal plan and a two-storey building. This building also had a small bastion at the south-east apex and a sentry box to the south.
The fort is in the “floor style”, which is characterised by its lack of decoration, a sober and imposing type of military construction. Of the building's few adornments, the friezes, entablatures, gargoyles and the detail of the exterior staircase stand out.

Event Description
This walk will introduce us to the parish of Santo Isidro de Pegões in the municipality of Montijo. A land steeped in history, where the old Royal Road used to pass through, it is currently still an agricultural and wine-growing area, with several flower nurseries. Also noteworthy is the beautiful landscape provided by the Pegões Dam. Another event not to be missed!
Santo Isidro de Pegões
Its historical roots are scarce. However, as it is located close to the Royal Road that linked Lisbon via Aldeia Galega to Badajoz, it benefited from the importance that this link had in communications with the south of the country, and thus saw the passage of several illustrious monarchs and passengers. Of these, we can highlight, among others, the Duke of Bragança, D. Jaime, and his son, D. Teodósio, on their journeys between Vila Viçosa and Lisbon.
Already in this century, the land was ploughed to make way for an internal colonisation project drawn up between 1937/38 by agronomists Mário Pereira and Henrique de Barros, using the land belonging to the Herdade de Pegões Velhos. This estate belonged to José Rovisco Pais, who tried to set up a colonisation project there based on what José Maria dos Santos had done in Rio Frio, in order to establish the agricultural wage labour needed for the large farms in the area. When he died in 1932, he donated the remaining land to the Civil Hospitals of Lisbon. However, the Junta de Colonização Interna (Internal Colonisation Board) ended up developing a completely different settler project to the one inaugurated by Rovisco Pais.
The Herdade de Pegões, with around 4,700 hectares, was then divided into agricultural couples with an average area of eighteen hectares, equipped with housing and agricultural facilities, irrigation works and communication routes. Each couple was given eleven hectares of rainfed land, four of vineyards, one of irrigated land and two of pine forest. They were also entitled to receive a cow, a calf, a mare, a cart with implements and a loan of six thousand escudos from the Colonisation Board. These facilities meant that, from 1952, five years after work began on transforming the estate, 207 settlers and their families settled there.
The settlement, whose architectural project was designed by the architect Eugénio Correia, also had other collective infrastructures such as primary schools, social centres, medical centres, reservoirs and a church. Later, in 1958, the Agricultural Cooperative was set up.

Event Description
This proposed walk takes place in Arraiolos, taking in all the beauty of the surrounding area and the historical part of this land full of tradition. We'd like to highlight the ecotrailway, the Oleirita dam and all the cork oak forests characteristic of this region. Another event not to be missed!
Arraiolos
In a hue of relief points resulting from fragile deformation, escarpments, pits and plateaus. Between the plateau of Sempre Noiva and the hills of Arraiolos (the plateaus of Oleira and Mouzinho), there is an abundance of greenery and fauna, which stretches out in a patch of colour dotted with varied lithologies. A scenario in which a geometric fringe of morphological accidents limits a route through a playful carpet of biological diversity that invites discovery and enjoyment.
On this route, on the section that coincides with the Arraiolos Ecotrailway, next to a majestic Freixo, you should stop to admire the unique beauty of Arraiolos Castle from afar. Also worth a look is the old Arraiolos railway station, built around 1910 and closed in 1987. At Ilhas, a settlement less than 2 kilometres from the town of Arraiolos, you can enjoy a landscape that opens up before your eyes, the vast plain that stretches as far as the Serra d'Ossa.
In the town of Arraiolos you can see the Castle of Arraiolos, which dates back to the Middle Ages, the 16th-century Church of Misericórdia and the Convent of the Lóios, as well as the 19th-century Stone Fountain, not forgetting the Arraiolos carpets, the rehabilitated historic centre and the views of the Holm and Cork Oak forests.

Event Description
This walk will introduce us to the Cágados Trail, inaugurated in 2020 by a group of three trail enthusiasts. This route in the parish of Vila Chã de Ourique will take us through marvellous landscapes, where we can see the connection between the moorland and the lezíria and which offers us the best that nature has to offer, with very challenging trails. This is a route that should be undertaken by those who already have experience of hiking and in some parts it is recommended to use a walking stick and dexterity for some of the steeper descents. Another event not to be missed!
At the end of the walk, anyone who wants to can join in for a group lunch!
Vila Chã de Ourique
The history of Vila Chã de Ourique is inextricably linked to the Battle of Ourique, which is believed to have taken place in this parish on 25 July 1139, as several historians claim.
When King Afonso Henriques decided to ravage the outskirts of Santarém in 1139, he set up camp near Vale da Pinta, between the town and Chãas de Ourique. The land where the battle took place between the Christian troops and the troops under Esmar's command was called Chãas de Ourique, which belonged for a long time to the House of the Counts of Unhão.
In the charter given by Manuel Pedro Teles to establish the settlement of Casal d'Ourique, or Ouro, it is mentioned that these lands were the wasteland of "Chãs d'Ourique". All this land must have been practically depopulated in the 14th century, with only the ruins of abandoned settlements remaining as a result of the continuous fighting that took place.
The parish was created on 20 January 1907, when it was detached from the parish of Cartaxo. In 1926 it adopted its current name and in 1997 it was elevated to a town. Given the potential of the land in this parish, vineyards and wine production play a fundamental role in the local economy. Vila Chã de Ourique is also home to the municipality's main business area, where around two dozen companies are based.
The parish covers an area of 33.2 square kilometres and has around 3,000 inhabitants.

EVENT: Weekend at the Lousal Mining Complex, Beja, and Descent to the Aljustrel Mine
DATE OF REALISATION: 14 a 15 de Novembro de 2026
ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 31 August 2026
EVENT DESCRIPTION: “Weekend at the Lousal Mining Complex, Beja, and Descent to the Aljustrel Mine”
In this proposed activity we will go on two walks, one to discover the surroundings of the Lousal Mining Complex and the other in the mining town of Aljustrel. In between, there will be time for a stroll through the historic centre of Beja. On Sunday, after breakfast and a walk through the town of Aljustrel, we'll go on a guided tour of the Mining Park, including a descent into the Mining Gallery on Floor 30. It's a weekend full of interesting things to do, where we can also try some of Alentejo's fine cuisine. Come with us and you won't regret it! Places are limited!
Lousal Village and Mining Complex
The Lousal Mine and its mining village are part of an old mining area located in the parishes of Azinheira dos Barros and São Mamede do Sádão. It was exploited in two phases, first in the 19th century and then from 1900 to 1988, and was part of the Belgian group “SAPEC” for most of its production. The main product was pyrite, from which sulphur was extracted, used in the production of sulphuric acid, which in turn was a component in the manufacture of fertilisers. The closure of the mines caused serious economic problems in the village of Lousal, where the workers and their families lived, which is why the Grândola municipality and SAPEC began a programme to rehabilitate the old mining structures.
Mining Museum
This museum, located in the old power station building, aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Lousal mines and is an integral part of the Frédéric Velge Foundation. Copper pyrites were extracted from these mines between 1900 and 1988. Today it is possible to visit the facilities, excavations and galleries of the mine, as well as the engines of the power station that supplied not only the mine, but also the local population.
Aljustrel Mining Park
The Aljustrel Mining Park is a living space where stories are told using innovation. A museum space without conventional walls, where you can learn, feel and reflect. One of the highlights of the project is the immersive tunnel, designed to evoke the daily life of miners. The lanterns project shadows and lights that accompany the chants of labour and the invocation to Santa Barbara, patron saint of miners. In this atmosphere, the hymn echoes as a tribute to the courage and resilience of those who, for generations, have lived from the depths of the earth. One of the most memorable experiences of the entire guided tour is the descent into one of the Mine's tunnels.
These are some of the most important places we'll be visiting during this event:
- Lousal Mining Village and Mining Complex
- Lousal Ciência Viva Centre
- Mining Museum
- Stroll through the historic centre of Beja
- Tour of the town of Ajustrel
- Maralhas Mill
- Chapel of Our Lady of the Castle

Walking: “Lousal a Céu Aberto - Mining Trail”
Points of interest: Walkways, Lagoons, Corona Stream, Malacate, Workshops and Warehouses, Power Station, Old Railway and Natural Landscapes
The “Lousal a Céu Aberto” (Lousal in the Open) route consists of a walking tour of the old Lousal mine shaft, which once produced pyrite, a sulphide rich in sulphur, essential for the production of sulphuric acid and used in the manufacture of fertilisers. At the beginning and end of the circuit, various infrastructures that characterise industrial mining archaeology are shown. Along the way, visitors come into contact with different geological structures (outcrops, faults and folds) as well as acid water lagoons (“green lagoon” and “red lagoon”, the latter of which has a submerged spring). The cementation tanks (former copper extraction structures) are worth noting, and at the end of the circuit we walk along the “pyrites road”, which used to distribute the ore to the railway line. Other infrastructures such as the administrative, social and housing buildings are also covered.

Village of Alferce
The village of Alferce is located on the eastern edge of the Monchique massif. To the north and south it is conditioned by tectonic valleys that have facilitated hydrological erosion phenomena, resulting in deep and very steep-sided valleys, such as the Barranco do Demo or the valley of the Monchique stream.
Alferce Castle
The Cerro do Castelo de Alferce Archaeological Site is located at the top of a hill that rises to an altitude of 488 metres and stands out on the eastern edge of the Monchique mountain range. At the top of Cerro do Castelo de Alferce are the ruins of an Islamic fortification that was probably built in the 9th century AD, during the Emirate-Muslim era, making it one of the oldest surviving Muslim castles in Portugal. It has been classified as a site of public interest since June 2013. The castle played an important role in controlling the region's main communication routes. This hill, with good natural conditions for surveillance and defence, is also close to two important watercourses in the region, the Monchique and Odelouca streams, which provided a link between the mountains and the coast.

Event Description
This walk takes place in the fantastic Serra de Grândola, in an immense patch of forest where the cork oak is king, on a route in the middle of nature and in some parts along the Grândola stream. Another event not to be missed!
Grândola Mountains
At 326 metres at its highest point, the Grândola mountain range (which extends into the municipality of Santiago de Cacém) is one of the most important natural components of the Grândola area. Unlike most Portuguese mountains, which are oblique to the coast, Grândola is parallel to it, which makes it difficult for sea air to penetrate, although it does contribute to cloud condensation. Part of the Iberian Plateau, dating back to the Lower Carbonic period, it is essentially made up of schist, which in some places is foliated and in others has a harder, more compact consistency.
Its main watercourse - the Ribeira de Grândola or Davino River - with its wooded banks, runs through a valley with dissymmetrical slopes, the one on the right bank having a steeper slope. On the east side of the Santiago road, the relief is roughly the same and the main watercourse is the Castelhanos stream (a tributary of the Davino). It should be noted that both streams remain largely dry during the summer, with water only remaining in a few catchments.
Due to its characteristics, the soils of the Serra de Grândola are generally poor and unsuitable for agriculture, which has led its owners to take up tree farming. Today, most of it is covered in cork oaks, which produce some of the best cork in Portugal. Here and there, small patches of pine and eucalyptus can also be seen. In areas with less human intervention, spontaneous vegetation still prevails, consisting of sargasso, cistus, bearberry, bramble, strawberry trees, carrasqueiros, zambujeiros, gilbardeiros and other Mediterranean-type plants.
Chapel of Our Lady of Penha de França
This chapel is located in the Outeiro da Penha. On 15 May 1664, the Order of Santiago authorised the construction of this chapel, which must have happened in the following years. The chapel has a ground floor with a gable roof, a small bell tower with a bell, two front doors, a door and three windows on the west wall, two pointed buttresses at the rear and a door and two benches on the south-east wall. The interior consists of a nave, a chancel (with an altar), a sacristy and an annex. The lower part of the nave is decorated with 18th century blue and white tile panels depicting flowers, angels and fruit, while the chancel has more elaborate panels showing “aspects of the life of Our Lady”. The panel above the door to the sacristy has a frieze with the date 1721.

EVENT: Weekend in Terras de Sicó - Buracas de Casmilo, Canhão de Vale de Poios, Santiago da Guarda and Redinha
DATE OF REALISATION: 28 a 29 de Novembro de 2026
ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 31 August 2026
EVENT DESCRIPTION: “Weekend in the Lands of Sicó - Buracas de Casmilo, Canhão de Vale de Poios, Santiago da Guarda and Redinha”
In this activity proposal we will go on two hikes in an area where tranquillity and memories of other times reign. We start with a hike from the village of Furadouro and the most emblematic point is the Buracas de Casmilo, in the Serra de Sicó massif, where there is the highest concentration of potholes in Portugal. This is an unmissable experience for those who enjoy walks that combine stunning landscapes, impressive geology and a touch of mystery. After the walk we'll visit the Monumental Complex of Santiago da Guarda, where there are traces of the Romans who passed through here. On Sunday, the walk will take in the Vale de Poios canyon, one of the most impressive fluviocratic canyons in Portugal. This trail also passes by the Senhora da Estrela Viewpoint and Chapel and the Dolina dos Poios, among other places of interest. Come with us and you won't regret it! Limited places
These are some of the most important places we'll be visiting during this event:
- Casmilo Holes
- Our Lady of the Circle Chapel
- Village of Furadouro and Casmilo
- Santiago da Guarda Monument Complex
- Pombal
- Vale de Poios fluvial canyon
- Chapel of Senhora da Estrela

Dia 28 de Novembro (sábado)
Walking: “Casmilo Hole Route”
Points of interest: Buracas de Casmilo, Aldeia de Furadouro, Aldeia de Casmilo, Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Círculo and Natural landscapes
Located in the municipality of Condeixa-a-Nova, the Buracas do Casmilo Trail is an unmissable experience for those who enjoy walks that combine stunning landscapes, impressive geology and a touch of mystery. The highlight of this trail is undoubtedly the Buracas do Casmilo, a series of cavities carved out of the imposing limestone cliffs. These formations are the remains of ancient caves which, over the millennia, were moulded by erosion and partially collapsed, leaving large “holes” in the cliffs visible. The result is an almost surreal scene, where the force of nature has carved out real windows into the region's geological past. Although they are not real caves, these holes served in ancient times as shelter for animals and possibly for the region's first inhabitants. Today, they are one of the most emblematic places in the Serra de Sicó, attracting not only hikers but also photographers and nature lovers looking to record their grandeur
Route length: 11 kilometres
Estimated duration: 3h30
Level of difficulty of the route: 3 (Scale of 1 to 5)
13h30 - We suggest the picnic option, which is the responsibility of each participant.
15h00 - Visit to the Monumental Complex of Santiago da Guarda
A National Monument since 1978 and the only example of Manueline architecture in the county. It brings together in the same space a four-century tower with a medieval base, rebuilt on the ruins of a Roman Villa from the 4th and 5th centuries, and a Manueline palace, built by Simão de Sousa Ribeiro during the first half of the 16th century.
16.30 - Short walk in Pombal
18h15 - Hotel check-in
19h45 - Suggested Group Dinner
Dia 29 de Novembro (domingo)
Walking: “Vale de Poios fluvial canyon”
Points of interest: Vale de Poios river canyon, Senhora da Estrela viewpoint and chapel, Poios doline, natural landscapes, etc.
The route starts in the village of Poios and follows rural paths with stone walls, olive groves and agricultural fields, offering a gradual entry into the wild environment of the canyon. As the trail progresses, the road narrows and turns into a stony track that leads deep into the valley, a dramatic scene marked by rocks, steep slopes and dense vegetation. The route continues towards the villages of Mocifas de São Amaro and Covão das Favas, combining rural paths, pine forests and stretches of tarmac. The ascent to the geodesic vertex of Senhora da Estrela (398 metres) offers a privileged view of the surrounding landscape and is one of the highlights of this trail in the Serra de Sicó. The final descent passes the dolina, which holds water all year round, before returning to the village of Poios.
Route length: 9 kilometres
Estimated time: 3 hours
Level of difficulty of the route: 3 (Scale of 1 to 5)
13h00 - Restaurant lunch suggestion
14.30 - Short visit to the village of Redinha
Inhabited since Romanisation, it had its first charter in 1159 by the Order of the Temple. In the 14th century it passed to the Order of Christ, beginning a period of prosperity that ended with the French invasions. Today it is one of the most important parishes in the county's tourism scene
Points of interest: Romanesque bridge, pillory and parish church
