Good morning dear community, today I want to share with you my visit to the quinta da fidalga, it is an area to share with nature and the diversity that the quinta fidalga has, it is old from the 15th century and functioned as an agricultural center, it is documented to the Gama Lobo family, today it is a recreational site with cultural activities where it has the Manuel Cargaleiro Arts Office and the International Center of Contemporary Medals and has an ancient chapel where the interior walls are covered with 18th century tiles and reproductions of this epoch.

Ruta // Walking

Mainly due to the period in which it was built, it is characterized by having many tile decorations and baroque landscapes, a very elaborate architecture, and its paths all lined with nature, trees and flowers.

When you arrive on the right side you have the signage to enter and you will find your garden that is pruned with unique figures and its paths marked by the pruning they have and to enjoy the garden it has a small viewpoint from where you can fully enjoy the garden. It also has a fountain in the center and from that angle you can also enjoy a view of the bay and its lake. Thanks to the season, there was fog and you were able to have some excellent photographic shots of the area. This area is the one I liked the most. the fifth fidalga.

Throughout the entire route of the villa you will find several Asian figures such as stone carvings and murals, most of them from the 17th century and some incorporated when the municipal chamber took control of the villa and made various decorative additions such as reinforcing the environment with tiles of several centuries thus giving diversity to the complex.

Following the path you will reach the lagoon called Lago Mares that inspires nostalgia and its oldest architectural figure that constitutes a rare or almost unique monument in European hydraulic architecture.

The complex is practically covered with natural trees and with some that produce citrus fruits such as orange, tangerine and lemon that are typical of its time since the 17th century these citrus fruits were already planted. The area is preserved because the farm has an irrigation system sophisticated.

Just as there is a diversity of tropical trees and fruits, in the case of flowers the variety is impressive, there must be approximately 50 different types of flowers in addition to the jungle mushrooms that there are.

At the end of the tour we will find the restaurant where you can enjoy some hydrating drinks such as cocktails and a variety of tapas, it is the meeting place waiting for the straggler group to arrive or each one contemplating and taking photos at their discretion.
