Gavião and the slopes of the Tagus
The Tagus valley gives Gavião municipality a landscape of water, slopes and rocky outcrops.
Belver and the Alamal bank
Belver Castle rises above the river opposite the Alamal area. The bridge connects the two banks and the different levels of this riverside landscape.
Rock and riverside habitats
At Outeiro, crags and rock formations accompany the valley. Scrub, watercourses and forested areas form a mosaic of different habitats along the river.

From local context to your project
The features described above help guide the first conversation. Depending on the property and its location, these details are useful to gather:
- If the plot is near a watercourse, do you have a survey showing levels, access points and existing watercourses?
- If the ground slopes, have the levels of the street, entrance and existing buildings been recorded?
