Moitão Lagoon

Between ancient dunes and landscapes dominated by pine and eucalyptus forests lies Lagoa do Moitão, a true haven of biodiversity and tranquility. This unique space combines natural beauty with a rich past: in the past, inert materials were extracted from here to make adobe bricks used in traditional Gandaresa houses, and rushes were harvested to create handmade mats that brought comfort to homes. Today, Lagoa do Moitão is a paradise for nature lovers. Its lush vegetation is home to species such as the elegant royal fern, aromatic water mint, and yellow marsh lily, while the banks are dominated by reeds, essential for bird nesting. It is also a privileged spot for birdwatching, where you can observe titmice, blackbirds, and majestic birds of prey such as the common buzzard and black kite.

In addition to its natural beauty, this space offers a playground, fitness park, and picnic area, making it ideal for family outings, moments of relaxation, and outdoor activities.
