Event details

Event Description

This walk starts at the Rio da Mula dam and follows the beautiful paths and trails of the enigmatic Serra de Sintra, allowing you to follow the beautiful coastline from Cascais to Cabo da Roca in the distance.

Mule River Dam

This dam was designed in 1963 by engineer Ressano Garcia and built by Cascais Municipal Council in 1969 to supply water to the municipality. It has a support wall 18 metres high and 192 metres wide, a flooded area of 45,000 m2 and a capacity to supply 23,000,000 m3 of water.

Monk's Tholos:

This is a mass grave built in the Chalcolithic period (2500/1500 BC) and reused in the Bronze Age (1800/800 BC). The grave, orientated to the north, takes advantage of a natural depression in the granite.
