| Hiking
tours |
Leen
Van Melle,
a friend from the family, takes you to the most beautiful spots in the
Serra da Estrela or in the neighbourhood. You can choose for a walking tour
taking a couple of hours or a hiking tour of a couple of days with camping outside. There are walks
for beginners and experienced hikers.
example of a walking tour
“ WALK ON THE ROOF OF PORTUGAL”
We
begin at the reservoir at the "Vale Rossim",a lovely swimming
spot. Walking along the river, we are led to the “Roof
of Portugal”, where the views are spectacular and
breathtaking. Along the way to the “Roof” you will
encounter many species of beautiful flora and fauna, enjoy and
feel free to admire your colourful surroundings. This is an easy and
gently rising path, where we get the sense of the freedom of
flight! Halfway along the walk we come to a rock
which
we could climb, if you so wish. After our climb we begin to
descend, criss crossing through the bush (Mato) back down to
reservoir.

Yoga
|
Martina
is German and living in Portugal for many years. She is looking forward to offer Yoga classes
at
"
Quinta da Alegria" beginning in 2012. Martina is a qualified teacher in
"Ashtana Vinyasa"
Yoga in tradition of "Sri Krichnamacharya /Patthabi Sri Jois". She
has been both fascinated by it and teaching it for years to
groups and individuals in her own local yoga studio and workshops at
other places. The lessons consist of the first series "Yoga Chikitsa"
(Yoga
Therapy), where the "Asanas" (poses) are performed in a given order and
are
connected by"Vinyasas"(dynamic movements with synchronised breathing).
Each session begins with the Sun salutations A and B followed by a
series
of "Asanas" and ends with a relaxation sequence. The lessons are
designed
so
that each participant can develop their individual practice according to their own capabilities.
