| Rio Alto Orbitur campsite takes its name from the small river that empties at the Estela Parish. This is a land of fishermen, the reason for which people and traditions are closely related to the sea. The major festivity in the town is dedicated to St. Peter, the patron saint of fishermen. The local cuisine is widely appreciated for its use of fresh fish and vegetables of the region. The extensive coastline makes the area very attractive for the practice of board sports, including bodyboarding and surfing. One of the most important Portuguese writers, Eça de Queirós, was born in Rio Alto, at Almada Square. The ruins of the aqueduct, dating back to the 18th century, and the old windmills are worth visiting. |
