Serra de Aire, located south of the country, a set with her neighbor saw Candeeiros, and between them reach some 35,000 hectares of protected natural area that is one of the great nature values in southern Portugal (do not forget to visit its capital, and stay in some of the best hotels in Lisbon).
Saws are predominantly calcareous materials, and therefore, its great beauty is the fact that it is a mountain range in the abundance of karst formations in caves, chasms, poljes or dry valleys. In other words, all attractive for caving enthusiasts.
Of all these sets underground, possibly the most interesting and prepared for the influx of visitors is located between the towns of Porto de Mos and Torres Novas. It is the group known as the Caves of Alvados, San Antonio and Mira de Aire, although it was estimated that the total number of caves that can occur in this area amounts to about 1,500, although this will never really know.
For Alvados caves were the employees of a marble quarry, who were discovered in the 1960s. A so just a mile away, are those of San Antonio, also found by chance a few years earlier.
While the de Mira d’Aire are the most spectacular, where among the many underground formations is a lake on which they performed a show of water, light and sound that puts an end to the visit and makes all the tourist leave with great taste.
That yes, there is a great idea to travel and choose to cruise, for example, Pullmantur Cruises to enjoy a trip much more complete and perfect, which will help you understand not only Portugal, but also the most beautiful coastline Portuguese and Spanish.
