Message from O Miradouro

🇧🇷 Quando a barragem do Alqueva foi construída, a aldeia da Luz foi condenada, por ficar na parte baixa que seria submersa pela albufeira. Mas foi construída uma aldeia novinha, tal e qual a aldeia antiga. Para quem gosta de histórias curiosas e interessantes, vale a pena visitar essa aldeia. Além disso, tem um museu por lá que conta toda essa história.

🇺🇸 When the Alqueva Dam was constructed, the village of Luz faced displacement, as it was situated in the lower area that would be submerged by the reservoir. However, a new village was meticulously built, mirroring the architecture and spirit of the old one. For those who appreciate intriguing and engrossing narratives, a visit to this village is highly recommended. Furthermore, there's a museum on-site that narrates the entire history of this transformation.
