In the village of Bemposta, natural charm blends with the soul of traditions. In the heart of the Douro International Natural Park, this village stands on a promontory with breathtaking views: on one side, the imposing Faia da Água Alta and Faia do Cuco stand out; on the other, the plains of Zamora and Salamanca stretch out to the horizon. And as if the scenery weren’t enough, there’s also the vibrant mask festival, where folklore comes to life in a parade that crosses borders and brings together cultures from various parts of the world.

This park is located just outside the city center on the N-128 road toward the Santa Lucía neighborhood. It is a large park, located below the walled area of the Castle, on the banks of the Fresno River. Here, the river is dammed, and there is a bar-café with a very pleasant terrace where you can enjoy a drink, and where you can practice non-motorized water sports, such as canoeing or taking a trip along the river by renting a pedal boat. There is a significant gradient from the road to the riverbank, and numerous paths and pedestrian trails for leisurely strolls.
