The Olhos de Água River Beach is located in the town of Olhos de Água, municipality of Alcanena, and is integrated into the Alviela Springs area. This bathing area is situated at the exact point where the Alviela river originates, offering a unique natural setting.
The peculiarity of the Olhos de Água River Beach lies in its direct connection to the Alviela Spring, one of the most important and highest-flow karst springs in the Estremadura Limestone Massif.

The water found here is the result of an underground journey through extensive geological formations.
The beach is set in an environment that highlights the geological richness of the region. The place is characterized by the presence of limestone rocks and predominantly Mediterranean vegetation, which lends a specific beauty to the landscape. This natural surrounding offers a calm setting conducive to rest, with the constant presence of water shaping the atmosphere of the space.
The Olhos de Água River Beach invites moments of tranquility and outdoor leisure. As a recognized bathing area, it offers conditions to enjoy the freshness of the waters that originate on site. It is a place where nature is accessible, allowing visitors to experience the serenity of the Alviela spring in contact with a pure and invigorating environment.
