When the days start to get longer, it’s the ideal time to look for natural destinations to visit, such as natural pools and waterfalls.
The breathtaking landscapes that our country offers are also reasons why this type of destination is a favorite.
And of course, attractions such as the famous swings, which allow us to contemplate all this splendor, are naturally at the top of the list of reasons to visit a particular place.
We’ve already talked about Portugal’s largest swing, which opened at the beginning of July, and the Cervo swing, which offers an incredible view of the River Minho all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, but all over the country there are more and more swings that are just as breathtaking.
So we went in search of some that are really worth a visit and that can offer a different experience, perhaps on a planned weekend getaway.
