The Gonde River route begins at Quinta do Marinheiro, where the Casa Museu Egas Moniz is inserted, crossed by the waters of the Gonde, at times used for irrigation and to feed the romantic lake. The water flows to the so-called Moinhos de Meias, at the bottom of the farm, now recovered and visitable, evoking the memory of the Miller, transforming cereals into flour.
