History - The Big Lake is called " Barragem da Santa Clara" and is a manmade reservoir, the second biggest in Portugal built and flooded in 1973ish. Our Grandparents Bought the finger of lakeside land known as "Beiranita" in 1989 and we have been here ever since. Their Daughter left a legacy of children's summer camps and Portuguese reading books and now their Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren are restoring lovingly their families land.
