no campo
lies in a protected nature reserve, inviting you to beautiful bicycle-
and walking-tours, for instance down to the nearby river. Or into
the “mountains”, towards the summit where you find “A
nossa Senhora da Penha,”, a rural chapel.
Information about bicycle- and walking-tours is awaiting you, the
region is a pleasure-ground for mountain-bikers, with its seemingly
endless dirt-roads without traffic. Although the terrain is quite
hilly, summits are never over 250 metres.
Or you just stay home and enjoy the campo,
watch the birds including the hoopoe, the redheaded shrike and the
bee-eater, or spot salamanders and lizards.
Depending on the season, go gather mushrooms and pick olives and
wild marjoram (Oregano).
Trips in and beyond the
coastal region Costa Azul
So, for those who prefer beauty and tranquillity
to crowded holiday – resorts, staying at
no campo is an excellent choice.
