Natural Elements and Environment

This park is distinguished by the prominent presence of an olive grove, which not only gives it its name but also a particular and authentic atmosphere. The olive trees, with their silvery foliage and robust trunks, are central elements that refer to the agricultural tradition and landscape identity of the region. The designation "Fonte de Cima" suggests the existence of a water source, which may manifest itself through small streams, springs, or more humid areas, contributing to the freshness and biodiversity of the space and adding a soothing sound and visual element to the environment.

The park's design is intended to allow for harmonious enjoyment of the space, with paths that invite relaxed strolls amidst the vegetation. Shaded areas, provided by the olive trees and other flora, are interspersed with more open areas, creating a play of natural light that enhances the visitor's sensory experience.

The Olival da Fonte de Cima Park is a place designed for moments of serenity and well-being. It provides an environment conducive to family walks, reading a book, or simply enjoying the silence and tranquility that nature offers. It is a refuge for those seeking a break from routine, a place where the slower pace allows for greater connection with the surrounding environment. Its essence lies in simplicity and the ability to offer a peaceful and invigorating experience.
