At the Monsul river beach, in Póvoa de Lanhoso, there is a set of three swings on the river which, being mostly used by bathers during the summer, guarantee beautiful photographs all year round. They were all installed this year, on the trees at the left bank of the Cávado. The first one, the Confraternity Swing, faces the west and allows to see the sun setting behind the vegetation. There is another one, further ahead suspended over water, which was named “It’ll be alright”, and it submerges whenever the river flow increases.
