What you will experience
The open landscape and the castle backdrop distinguish this descent. The current can change with operation of Fratel dam, so the pace is not the same on every outing.
Along the route
The proposal follows the Tejo section towards Alamal and includes a riverside break for food. The departure location and route length should be defined when preparing the programme, taking river flow into account.
What to bring
Bring food for the riverside break.
Requirements & preparation
The programme should account for the group's experience and fitness and the current on the day. A broad river setting is not a guarantee of no risk.
