The Capelinha and Miradouro de Tourelhe are located in the Corujeira area, an integral part of the locality of Cambra, in the municipality of Vouzela. Positioned on an elevation, this place offers a comprehensive perspective over the landscape that stretches across valleys and mountain ranges. Despite being located within an area that is part of the urbanization, the space maintains a distinct and isolated character, inviting contemplation of the surroundings.
The Capelinha de Tourelhe is a small temple, with simple and unpretentious architecture, reflecting the local devotion and religious tradition of the region. This small-sized building invites visitors to a moment of tranquility and contemplation. Its architectural sobriety, typical of many Portuguese rural chapels, naturally integrates into the surrounding landscape, conveying a sense of peace.
The viewpoint, which shares its name and space with the capelinha, constitutes a privileged spot for observation. From there, the eyes can reach a vast area of Vouzela's territory and its surroundings, with the distant mountains and closer valleys shaping the landscape's morphology. It is an ideal place to appreciate the natural richness of the region, with its varied vegetation and the geographical elements that characterize it.
The combination of the capelinha's presence with the breadth of views from the viewpoint creates an environment particularly conducive to serenity. Those who visit find a refuge from daily agitation, a place where nature and spirituality unite. It is an invitation to pause, breathe the clean air, and enjoy the quietude that the place offers, allowing a deeper connection with the surrounding environment.
