Praia Fluvial de Gavião
Gavião, Portalegre · Alentejo
About the Beach
Praia Fluvial de Gavião sits on the banks of the River Tagus, next to the mouth of the River Ocreza, in a landscape of schist and pine trees. The calm, translucent water of the Tagus in this stretch of the Upper Alentejo is much appreciated, and the wild, quiet setting contrasts with the bustle of coastal beaches. The village of Gavião sits on a rocky spur with panoramic views over the confluence of the two rivers.
