Vascão River

Vascão river flows along the Algarve-Alentejo border and spawns in Serra do Caldeirão flowing until the Guadiana. Along it's 77km lenght this small river is a surprise book, there are points where it can reach more than 6m depth having a water flow of almost 260m3/second. Sadly in 2011 a sanitary disaster happened due to a landfill and it's wildlife was very affected. Slowly it is gaining it's old life back and hopefully Barbel and many other fish will start heading back up to it's waters.
