In Figueira da Foz
This beautiful swing was created and installed with care by a group of young people who had the initiative, in Bom Sucesso almost right in the middle of the Lagoa da Vela. This place has many lovers and was, much before the installation, famous. The swing is for one person, not one of those huge ones, but it is nice and helps us to know the other side of the Lagoa. And now, about the name of the swing here is explained by the page on Facebook Socorro Amor Estou Perdida:
"They found at that place a sunken boat that was set on fire and the only thing that remained was a sign where it was possible to read 'Timor'. After that, they began to call Timor to the barn and later, when they built the swing, they baptized it "Isto É Timor"." The place offers itself for rides near the Lagoa, the access is also easy by car and it is not necessary to walk a lot, so it is ideal for families with children.
