We leave Cabril’s Filipina bridge, listed as a national monument, behind us and embark upon a section with a natural and cultural heritage of incalculable value. Examples of this include Granada rock, the place where Fray Luís de Granada went to meditate, which served as inspiration for the poet Luís Vaz de Camões for his poem “O Pomar Venturoso”. The Zêzere grand route never moves far away from the river anywhere in this section; the river is transformed into a reservoir here by the Bouçã dam. We turn away from settlements and embark on some intense contact with nature. This is a very important space from an ecological perspective.
