In the middle of some horrible houses that makes Coimbrão there are some unique.
The one in Picture is one of the old typical houses of Coimbrão.

But there are two or three old rich houses that are beautiful

It is really difficult to explain how is the feeling of a wall around Ervideira Lagoon but it is great.
It is a lagoon surround by pone trees, fresh water good for swim..

On spring the sunset is beautiful and you ear the birds singing and frogs, some duck go there too...
