Passeio pelo Campo

The area surrounding the village of Terena is the ideal place for a stroll through the countryside. Along walled paths, wandering through the oak forests, irrigated fields, and dry farmland, we can still encounter the art of shepherding in these fields steeped in agricultural tradition. The route offers encounters with diverse flora and fauna. White storks, booted eagles, foxes, and weasels are common sights. Without ever losing sight of Terena, we learn to appreciate it from all angles, catching glimpses of the waters of the Lucefécit Dam, with its wide variety of riparian vegetation and oak forests, which take on new shapes and colors as the hiker approaches. Upon reaching the dam itself, a short rest stop is a good idea. From this point, Terena Castle is already visible atop the hill where the old village has developed over the centuries. At the end, the reward is the beautiful Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Boa Nova. A National Monument, this fortress-temple dates from the 14th century and has a Greek cross-shaped floor plan.
