The Grande Lago
The Grande Lago is Europe’s biggest artificial lake. Located in proximity of the Spanish border it is about 50 miles long and has a circumference of some 725 miles. From Marina d’Amieira you will navigate on waters of a very special quality. Here diving, swimming, and fishing are activities that will fascinate those who love nature.
With your family and friends you can land on a lonely island and play Robinson Crusoe for a night. But you may as well, of course, land near one of the many villages and find yourself in the company of locals. In this area you can find the dam of Alqueva which was finished in 2002, the village of Luz which once sank into the lake but was built up again, and Mourao with its castle and fort from the 13th century. There is an arena for bullfights which is still in use in the town of Monsarez.
With its 300 days of sunshine per year you can opt for the waters of the Grande Lago in order to enjoy a boat trip in all freedom.
PORTO
From Porto, you can sail the Douro River (with a sports boat licence) and enjoy the beautiful Douro Valley from your charter boat. The Douro, which flows into the Atlantic at Porto, is the third longest river on the Iberian Peninsula. Both the scenic Douro Valley with its large wine-growing areas and Porto's historic centre have been classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
