Location

The Baloiço do Talefe (Talefe Swing) is located in the area that gives it its name, the Talefe zone, belonging to the locality of Alter Pedroso. This area is integrated into the municipality of Alter do Chão.

For visitors to Alter Pedroso, the swing is situated in the vicinity of the Church of Nossa Senhora das Neves and the remains of what was the Castle of Alter Pedroso. Its position offers a specific perspective on the village's surroundings.

Landscape

One of the main attractions of the Baloiço do Talefe is the landscape that can be observed from it. The view is wide and extends over a considerable area, characteristic of the Alentejo region. This visual expanse provides a sense of relief and vastness.

Sitting on the swing, it is possible to contemplate the serenity of the surrounding fields and the expansive horizon, a common element in flat or gently rolling landscapes. The perspective offered invites contemplation and appreciation of the surrounding natural environment.

The Swing

The swing is the central element of this point of interest. Generally constructed with a simple wooden structure, it is positioned so that, when swinging, one has the best possible view of the landscape unfolding ahead.

This type of structure has become a symbol of pause and slow enjoyment of the territory. It is frequently sought out as a place to take photographs that capture the interaction between the person, the swing, and the vast landscape in the background, serving as a point for recording the visit and the experience at the site.
