The Lis River, which runs through the city of Leiria, begins in the parish of Cortes, a few kilometers from the city.
At the source, the flow is small and, in summer, it dries up. With the rains, it gains strength and, when it reaches Leiria, it already flows with a considerable volume of water.
The area is surrounded by trees, small plots of land with fruit trees and various accessories placed to make the space more cozy and lively.
There are tables for picnics and barbecues, making it the ideal place for outdoor leisure moments.
In winter, the sound of running water creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. There are also some hiking trails, perfect for those who enjoy exploring nature.
The parish of Cortes offers good infrastructure, with several houses, restaurants and cafes. In addition, there are local accommodations for those who want to spend a few days close to Leiria, but away from the noise and pollution of the city.
