Povoínha

hike | 2023-02-06
970 m altitude, 350 m prominence, - km isolation

The good news about windmills is that one could almost always find the road. It might be private, closed or bumpy, but it will be a road. This time it was a good gravel road and soon we reached the top of Povoinha, which is surrounded by windmills and has a raised trig pillar. We stopped briefly to take some elevation readings and drove little over a kilometre to the east to a slightly lower peak, Mata de Álvaro, with an interesting lookout tower with a trig on the roof. It was already afternoon, but this wasn’t our last peak for the day; we planned to visit the peaks of Zibreiro and Cabeço Raínha before heading back to the airport.

Most of the ridges around here are covered with windmills
Trig pillar on the plinth
If it is a windmill, It will be a road
Windmill, windmill, windmill, must be pretty windy most of the time
Another trig pillar on the roof of the lookout tower
Looks like trig pillar on the plinth a quite typical in Portugal
