Location

The Montinho da Ribeira Eco-Park is located in the municipality of Grândola, within the locality of Montinho da Ribeira, specifically in the Bairro do Arneiro area. Its position is marked by its proximity to the Ribeira (stream) and the Serra de Grândola (Grândola Mountains), benefiting from a natural environment that harmoniously integrates with the more urbanized area of the village.

Natural Setting

This space is characterized by its direct connection to the stream that accompanies it. The waters flowing down from the Serra de Grândola run intermittently, shaping the riverbed and giving rise to unique natural formations, such as pêgos (water holes) and small areas resembling river beaches. These particularities contribute to the ecological significance of the site, offering a glimpse into the dynamics of the region's riparian ecosystems.

Leisure and Memory Space

The Montinho da Ribeira Eco-Park was designed as a place for enjoying free time and engaging in outdoor activities, such as picnics. For those looking to stay active, the park offers stretching equipment, which complements the inviting atmosphere for lingering. This site also carries symbolic value, as it stands on the former Aldeia da Minhoca, a place that is part of the collective and historical memory of the Grândola community. The availability of restroom facilities adds convenience for visitors.
