The Alcabrichel River is a Portuguese river that flows into the sea at Porto Novo Beach, in the parish of Maceira, in the municipality of Torres Vedras. Maceira is a key location along the river's course, especially in its final stretch where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. Characteristics and Highlights in the Maceira Area Mouth at Porto Novo Beach: The river flows into the sea at this beach, creating a picturesque setting where fresh water mixes with salt water. The mouth area is a point of natural and scenic interest, much photographed, especially at sunset. Landscape and Environment: The river's course in the Maceira area and its surroundings is characterized by a valley with low alluvial deposits and slopes with cliffs, providing rural landscapes and, near the coast, a coastal environment. Trails and Routes: The region is popular for outdoor activities. There are several hiking and cycling trails that follow the riverbanks or lead from Maceira to the mouth and Porto Novo Beach, some using wooden walkways in specific sections. Vimeiro Thermal Baths: The Alcabrichel River passes near Vimeiro, famous for its thermal baths and medicinal waters, which have attracted people seeking health treatments since the 19th century. Historical Heritage: The river mouth has historical relevance, as it was the landing site of British troops before the Battle of Vimeiro, during the French Invasions in 1808. The union of the parishes of A dos Cunhados and Maceira highlights the Alcabrichel River as one of its points of visit and environmental interest, being the object of efforts for its protection and environmental requalification.

At this location at the top of the Serra de Montejunto, also known as "Torre" due to the various antennas that were installed there, is the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, which may have been built in the 13th century and remodelled and expanded during the 16th century and later. Inside, the altars covered with 17th century tiles and the altarpiece of the main altar, from the 18th century, stand out. Next to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, are the ruins of what is considered to be the first Dominican Convent in Portugal, built in the 12th century and abandoned after the extinction of the religious orders, and is currently in ruins. Also nearby are the ruins of the Royal Ice Factory, classified as a National Monument. Here, in the 18th century, the Dominican monks took advantage of the climatic and geological conditions and opened large tanks connected by narrow passages, one part for the production of ice and the other for its preparation, storage and conservation. The ice was later transported to Lisbon, to supply the court and the café at Terreiro do Paço, later known as Martinho da Arcada (Fernando Pessoa's Café)
