A scrabble down a steep stony track yields a vast azure pool. Dive from huge rocks and swim into quartz caves. The pools are filled by a gushing waterfall, the spring of which begins high in the hills at monastery of São João. From Covas (Coura bridge) follow the N301 west towards Caminha. After 1.5km you pass over an old bridge; park on the roadside, and on the right is an overgrown path down. 5 mins, 41.8775,-8.7156
