Mula River Dam

Highlight • Lake

The current Rio da Mula Dam, in Serra de Sintra, was built in 1969 to supply water to the city of Cascais. In 1983, the dam suffered a structural failure during heavy rains and caused extensive damage to Cascais. Restructured, today it is an excellent place to enjoy the nature and peace of the region. Mandatory stopping point for both walkers and mountain bikers.

Quinta do Saldanha ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

A classic lost place for adventurous souls to explore: walk around the rusted out fence and discover how nature is reclaiming the historic roadside inn. Nobody comes here, so it can even serve as an impromptu rain shelter or bivouac spot.
