The joys of climbing, among feeling fit and being mentally healthy, includes also to find the exquisite places(in the middle of nowhere sometimes), to be surrounded by nature and sight birds, butterflies, or flowers, to pass by and stop at picturesque villages, to experience good food at remote cafes and restaurants and, sometimes to meet interesting people with interesting stories to tell. In Redinha, the landscape is beautiful, we can see as far as the sea, and the site is warm and sunny, which is important both in Spring and Autumn. Redinha is not far from Leiria and Coimbra and students from both Universities have a site to climb at hand. The ambience is, thus, energetic and lively. The rock is limestone with routes varying between 7 and 20 meters. The rock also presents weird and funny shapes such the one the photo shows. Is "he/her" not happy for being disturbed or suprised by the presence of crazy climbers?
