Lovely path alongside the river.
Percurso calmo e com locais muito bonitos, pontes belíssimas, edifícios em ruínas em que alguns eram moinhos. Faltam mais pontos de água portável e sombras.
Bom para caminhadas com a família,ou prática de desporto, como atletismo ou ciclismo. Muito trabalho a fazer A precisar de manutenção de limpeza e jardinagem
Um local lindo e excelente para atividade ao ar livre! Conta com um parque infantil, água e algumas mesas para piquenique!
I thought it was a beautiful place. ALWAYS next to the river. VERY CLEAN. IDEAL for those who appreciate contact with nature.
