EVENT: Weekend at the Lousal Mining Complex, Beja, and Descent to the Aljustrel Mine

DATE OF REALISATION: 11 to 12 April 2026

ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 30th April 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.

EVENT: Weekend in Terras de Sicó - Buracas de Casmilo, Canhão de Vale de Poios, Santiago da Guarda and Redinha

DATE OF REALISATION: 16-17 May 2026

ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 10th May 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

Saturday 16th May

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

17th May (Sunday)

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

15.30 - Short visit to the Anços water holes

Olhos de Água do Anços is a naturally beautiful karst spring located between Arrancada and Anços, in the parish of Redinha, in Pombal.

EVENT: Weekend at Queimadela Dam, Guimarães, and Levadas de Jugueiros

DATE OF REALISATION: 23rd to 24th May 2026

ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 20th April 2026

EVENT DESCRIPTION: “Weekend at Queimadela Dam, Guimarães and Jugueiros”

In this activity proposal we will go on two walks, one to get to know the surroundings of the Queimadela Dam, enjoying the walkways, picnic area and banks of the Vizela River, in a green landscape and enjoying nature, the other walk will be the Levada de Jugueiros, in the municipality of Felgueiras, almost always using Levadas, and along the banks of the Bugio River, enjoying its beautiful waterfalls, up to the Barrias Natural Waterfall, in a setting of great beauty. There will also be time to enjoy the best of the city of Guimarães, in the late afternoon and early evening, and to pass by the Tanques de Couros, a heritage site to be rediscovered in the city of Guimarães, a memory of an industrial past. Come with us and you won't regret it! Places are limited!

Queimadela Dam

The Queimadela Dam is a true natural refuge, where leisure, sport and nature harmonise in a setting of rare beauty. Its surroundings include a large bathing and leisure area, equipped with a picnic area, grills, shaded rest areas, support bar, toilets, showers, first aid post, car park and pier. The 3,000 m² river beach is supervised during the bathing season, guaranteeing safety and tranquillity for all visitors. The surrounding natural heritage harbours a remarkable biodiversity, offering a unique experience of contact with nature.

Pontido Village

The Queimadela Dam Walkways are located a short distance from the picturesque Aldeia do Pontido. This village preserves traditional architecture and offers an authentic insight into Portuguese rural life.

Guimarães - Leather Tanks

These tanks, located in the Leather Zone, are an important testimony to a tanning industry that was one of the most important in the productive fabric of Guimarães. The tradition of this industry dates back to the Middle Ages and developed with more or less success until the middle of the 20th century, when it entered an irreversible process of decline. Despite some dispersion throughout the municipality, the fur processing industry had a privileged centre of development in the 19th century in this area. The recognition of the ancestry and specificity of this activity in the area is expressed in the fact that it was the first area to be classified as a Property of Public Interest in July 1977, in what was the first legislative initiative of its kind in Portugal in relation to industrial archaeology. These tanks remain today as a symbol of this local industry.

The Levadas of Jugueiros

This is one of those routes that you do slowly, with time to stop, take a deep breath and let yourself be enveloped by the landscape. This path follows the traditional levadas - water channels that have irrigated the fields of the parish of Jugueiros for generations. Along the trail, we walk side by side with the water, which flows peacefully between stone walls, dense vegetation and agricultural areas. One of the great advantages of this trail is its low exposure to the sun: almost the entire route takes place in the shade, which makes it perfect even on the hottest days. But what really enchants are the countless cascades and waterfalls you'll find along the way - some more hidden, others inviting you to take a longer break. Along the way there are several rest areas and at least three picnic sites, ideal for a picnic or just to recharge your batteries.

These will be some of the most important places we'll pass through during this event:

Queimadela Dam
River Vizela
Walkways
Pontido Village
River Beach and Picnic Park
Tour of the Historic Centre of Guimarães
Guimarães Castle
Palace of the Dukes of Bragança
Tanques de Couros, Largo do Toural, Jardim da Alameda, Padrão de Nossa Senhora da Vitória, etc.
Barrias and Cascata Waterfalls
Bugio River and Ferro River

Event Description

Embark on this walk where you'll explore the picturesque village of Torrão and the serene banks of the Xarrama river. This walk promises an experience of natural beauty intertwined with historical richness. As you walk through the cobbled streets of Torrão, you'll be enveloped by the authentic atmosphere of the village, with its traditional houses and cosy squares. Feel the history that manifests itself around every corner, revealing secrets kept over the centuries. On the banks of the River Xarrama, surrender to the serenity of the environment. The vegetation and calm waters provide a haven for nature lovers. Let yourself be enchanted by the sounds of nature and the gentle breeze as you walk along the riverside paths. This walk not only offers a relaxing escape, but also reveals fascinating points of interest, such as historic bridges and panoramic viewpoints that offer breathtaking views. Another event not to be missed!

Torrão

The name Torrão comes from the word torrejam, which means "big tower". Situated on the right bank of the Xarrama river (a tributary of the Sado), between Alto Alentejo and Baixo Alentejo, it has a long historical past as a settlement with roots in the Neolithic period. It was an area of some importance during the Roman period and was also under Arab influence. It was liberated from this domination in 1217 (when Alcácer do Sal was also liberated) and Torrão was then donated to the Order of Santiago.

Torrão's main economic activities are livestock farming, agriculture, construction, cork production, wine, olive oil and bread. Handicrafts include wooden miniatures, hand-painted ceramics, blacksmiths, chair stuffing, lace and embroidery.

Vale do Gaio Dam

With a catchment area covering 509 square kilometres, the Engenheiro Trigo de Morais dam, better known as the Vale do Gaio dam, began operating in 1949. Surrounded by beautiful green areas, the Vale do Gaio dam is an ideal place for sports and nautical activities (fishing and canoeing), for a simple stroll in the open air or to enjoy a few days of relaxation in the hotel located there.

EVENT DESCRIPTION: “Walking in Morocco: from Marrakech to the Desert“

In this activity proposal, we'll go for a walk and enjoy a unique experience in Morocco. From the chance to get to know the reality of the imperial city of Marrakech, through some of Morocco's most fantastic landscapes (Erg Chebbi Dunes, Todra Gorge or Ait Benhaddou, the Unesco World Heritage fortified city) and with two nights in the Desert (one of them in a Luxury Tent) this is sure to be a trip that will mark you out for the excellence of the itinerary drawn up for this trip. Come with us!

These will be some of the most important places on our itinerary:

Guided tour of Marrakech with an official guide (markets and old town). Time to explore the Medina and the electrifying Jemaa el Fnaa Square.
A walk in the marvellous Erg Chebbi Dunes (Sahara Desert) after crossing the Atlas Mountains
Guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage fortified city of Ait Benhaddou
Pass by the Hassilabled Oasis and Gnawa show in Khamlia

Marrakech

Between tradition and modernity, Marrakech promises incomparable sensations. Strolling through Jemaa El-Fna square and the souks with their shimmering colours and oriental scents, the red city answers your desire for a change of scenery at the snap of a finger. Horse-drawn carriage rides, sunny terraces, travelling artists and other daytime and evening activities will punctuate your stay in Morocco. You can admire all the architectural richness of the Medina by visiting one of its many riads, small oriental palaces organised around a central courtyard, or you can recharge your batteries in the Menara, a vast garden with a basin that is emblematic of the city. Marrakech leaves the choice up to its visitors, taking advantage of its incredible diversity.

Unforgettable experience in the desert

We will stay for two nights in the desert area, one of them in a luxury tent, which will allow us to enjoy something truly magical, to feel the immensity of the vast desert dune system.

Todra Gorges

It's one of Morocco's most impressive natural sites: the Todra Gorges (Le Gorges du Todra or Todra Gorges) are a gorge, through which a stream passes, flanked by limestone cliffs or ledges that leave you open-mouthed at the almost 300 metres high! Located in the eastern part of the High Atlas Mountains, these rock formations were sculpted by the Todra River. The highest rocks in this gorge are about 15 kilometres from Tinghir, a town in the centre of an authentic oasis.

The Dunes of Erg Chebbi

In Mergouza, in the far south-west of Morocco, you'll find one of the most impressive sights of this trip: the Erg Chebbi Dunes, with peaks that reach 150 metres high and a length of around 22 kilometres, this sea of golden sand is absolutely magnificent!
