This journey will start near the beach at Tapada Grande. Follow the path around the dam through fields of cork trees and shrubs in the direction of Monte Vale Travesso. You will cross the river stream of Cabeça de Aires. During the walk you will see many bird species. Continue in direction to Monte do Guiso and from there you start the return to the Tapada Grande reservoir. Go into the village of Mina de São Domingos, which is worth a visit
