Walking from the village, we head to a hill with a 360º view, where we can see the lights of towns and cities, as well as the red lights of the many wind turbines that stretch as far as the eye can see. Depending on the weather, we may be able to see the bright stars.

NOTE: Bring comfortable clothes and shoes for walking, a backpack with water and snacks, a headlamp and a windbreaker jacket. The use of walking poles is recommended.

How to get there

 

By car: Arriving in the city of Lagos, at the Municipal Stadium roundabout, head towards Bensafrim. At Portelas exit, take the EM 531 on the left towards Barão de São João, passing through the Monte Judeu site. Go straight ahead towards Barão de S. João, and after entering the village of Barão de São João you should follow the signs that indicate the Mata Nacional. The Cultural Center is located just before the forest entrance on the left.
