The Magos Dam Swing is located next to the Magos Dam, lending its name to the surrounding area. It is situated in the Várzea Fresca area, part of the municipality of Salvaterra de Magos. Its position was chosen to take advantage of its proximity to the body of water and the surrounding landscape.
From this point, one's gaze encompasses the reservoir of the Magos Dam, a mirror of water that stretches out and reflects the sky. The view includes the natural frame of the banks and the region's vegetation, offering a panorama that invites contemplation. It is a place where the tranquility of the aquatic landscape stands out.
The swing itself is an invitation to interact with the landscape in a simple and relaxed way. It allows visitors to sit and sway gently, appreciating the view of the dam from a slightly different perspective. It also serves as a popular frame for those wishing to capture photographs of their visit with the reservoir as a backdrop.
Being by the Magos Dam Swing offers a pause. Away from the hustle of more urban areas, the location provides a serene environment, conducive to relaxation and decompression. It is a place to enjoy the quietness of nature and the scenery formed by the dam.
