Frechas River Beach is located in the village of Frechas, in the municipality of Mirandela, in the Trás-os-Montes region. It is situated along the banks of the Tua River, a setting that provides the site with a natural and serene atmosphere, characteristic of the interior's riverine landscapes. Its position within the village allows for direct access and integration into local life, yet in a context of tranquility and nature.
The ambiance of this beach is defined by the presence of the Tua River, which widens here to form a reservoir. This bathing area is created by a weir, an essential element that allows for the formation of a calm water zone, inviting contact with the river. The natural surroundings offer a setting conducive to relaxation and enjoyment of the riverside landscape, with vegetation framing the water's surface.
One aspect that distinguishes Frechas River Beach is the presence of the ruins of an old watermill. This architectural remnant harks back to times when the force of the Tua River's waters was harnessed for grinding cereals, a fundamental activity for the local population. The existence of these ruins, together with the weir that accompanied them and which still forms the bathing area today, adds a historical and cultural dimension to the visit, allowing a connection to the region's rural past.
For the comfort of visitors, Frechas River Beach offers infrastructures designed to enhance the enjoyment of the space. There is a picnic park, a suitable place to enjoy outdoor meals in a relaxed atmosphere. Additionally, the area includes a playground, which provides fun and entertainment for children, making the location appealing for families and a meeting point for leisure.
