"A masterpiece of the popular architecture, the Carrasqueira’s Palafitte dock, unique in Europe, is built out of irregular timber stakes, apparently frail, from the 50’s and 60’s decades, which serve as pier to the fishing boats that anchor there."

"Integrated in the Sado’s Estuary Natural Reserve, the riverside village contains hundreds of meters of piling through the muddy sea inlets of the river Sado.
Touristic attraction site, it is one of the most visited places in the county; the dock goes on, nevertheless, accomplishing the mission for which it was built: To allow to the fishermen boat access, even during the low tide.
Along the several moles small timber houses rise. They are used as storerooms."
