 Ideal for practicing nautical sports.

As the river comes into view on the way out of the old town, down towards the Álvaro River Beach, a vast expanse of water is revealed in a surrounding panorama of rare beauty.

Private and far from the hubbub, this corner of the country offers all the peace and quiet you need for a good rest and contact with nature in its pure state.

The beach offers facilities for sports and leisure activities such as fishing, canoeing, water sports and boating.

Álvaro is also a crossing point of the Zêzere Grande Rota walking route. One of the intermodal stations of the 370 km walking route is located next to the beach.
