  • Cover photo description:
  • Portuguese Carrasqueira lies on the left bank of the Sado River. Here you will find a multitude of wooden jetties on stilts, known as cais palafita, zigzagging along the muddy marshes. Fishing huts, some naturally weathered, others individually painted, stand atop the wharf. At low tide, the Sado estuary made it impossible for fishermen to board their boats as the water does not reach the shore. So, the local community, over two centuries ago, constructed this traditional anchorage system.
