A spot with spectacular views of the coast, we even managed to see the Meiras Lighthouse in the distance. Access is via paths and trails that are generally wide and in fairly good condition, suitable for both walking and mountain biking (there are sections with loose rocks, steep slopes, etc., but it's easy to do). It's definitely worth a visit and enjoying the views 😍

Start (or end, depending on how you choose 😅) of a walk or bike ride under the trees and overlooking the lake. Halfway there's a birdwatching point.
