ACHADA DO MARQUES

Don't forget to head to the small Achada do Marques plateau behind the tunnel. This small green hamlet at the end of the world, whose small huts raise their golden roof to the sky, is set on what was probably a crater floor. Declared a "protected landscape" by the new environmental protection laws, tourists are more than rare, which is rather good news. Achada do Marquês also produces lemons. On the way back, a path takes you back to the village of Santana.
