Piscina Natural Ponta da Ferraria

The Piscina Natural Ponta da Ferraria is a natural seawater pool fed by thermal springs. Therefore, the water there is a few degrees warmer than pure seawater.

You have to go swimming at low tide, otherwise there is a risk of being swept out of the seawater pool by the waves so they provide lines, which are stretched crosswise from each side to the others, providing a good grip.

Beside the natural basins there is also an official thermal bath with a spa, café, and massage services. However, only the café is currently open, as the road is blocked by a landslide since four months and therefore closed. So the pool looks like a lost place at the moment.

Because of the closed road you have to walk down and, of course, back up again. Going down takes about 15 minutes, going up takes 20 minutes.

So the whole thing is more of an adventurous story and not just lazing around in a thermal bath.
