Carrasqueira Lights - a photo on Flickriver

            Obra-prima da arquitectura popular, o cais palafítico da Carrasqueira, único da Europa, é construído em estacas de madeira irregulares, aparentemente frágeis, das décadas de 1950 e 1960, que servem de embarcadouro aos barcos de pesca que ali acostam. Ora estão enterradas no lodo, ora na água, segundo as marés.

Integrada na reserva natural do Estuário do Sado, a aldeia ribeirinha conserva uma impressionante rede de estacaria que se estende centenas de metros pelos esteiros lamacentos do rio Sado.

Ponto de atracção turística, é um dos locais mais visitados no concelho; o cais continua, no entanto, a cumprir a missão para que foi construído: permitir o acesso dos pescadores aos barcos, mesmo durante a baixa-mar.

Ao longo dos diversos cais erguem-se pequenas casas construídas em madeira, que servem de arrecadações.

Masterpiece of architecture popular in the dock palafítico Carrasqueira, unique in Europe, is built on wooden stakes irregular, seemingly fragile, the decades of 1950 and 1960, serving as the fishing boats dock there that acostam. Why are buried in the mud, sometimes in the water, according to the tides.

Integrated in the natural reserve of the Sado Estuary, the riverside village retains an impressive network of piling that extends hundreds of meters by the muddy estuaries of the river Sado.

Point tourist attraction, is one of the most visited sites in the county, the pier remains, however, to fulfill the mission for which it was built: allow access to the boats of fishermen, even during low tide.

  Over the many piers rise from small houses built of wood, which serve as storage.
