Location:

The Baloiço, Rio das Figueiras (Swing, Figueiras River) is located in the tranquil village of Lamas e Cercal, within the municipality of Cadaval. This point of interest is situated in a distinctly rural environment, benefiting from its proximity to the small Rio das Figueiras (Figueiras River), which lends part of its name.

Its geographical setting is defined by the gentle and verdant landscape surrounding the Serra de Montejunto (Montejunto Mountain Range). Its position offers an unobstructed panorama of the surrounding nature, providing an inviting backdrop for contemplation and a break from the daily grind.

The Swing Experience:

At the heart of this natural setting, a simple yet sturdy swing awaits those seeking a moment of decompression. Designed to offer a unique perspective of the landscape, this feature invites visitors to sit and let themselves be gently swayed, either by a light breeze or their own momentum.

It is an ideal spot to unwind and absorb the tranquility of the rural environment, far from hurried routines. Many find here the perfect setting to capture an image that immortalizes their visit, with nature as the backdrop for an unforgettable memory.

A Place for Sharing Stories:

Beyond its scenic beauty, the Baloiço, Rio das Figueiras possesses a notable and uncommon cultural feature for an outdoor space: it serves as an official bookcrossing point. This particularity adds a unique dimension to the visit.

This means that visitors are encouraged to bring a book they have already read to leave at the site and, if they wish, take another one with them. This initiative promotes reading and the sharing of knowledge and leisure, transforming the swing not just into a space for contemplation, but also into a small center for cultural and community exchange, where stories travel from hand to hand, enriching everyone's experience.
