Santiago | Ribeira Seca with Barragem de Poilão

WI_cv042.jpg

View from the Poilão Dam up the Ribeira Seca in SW direction, Pico d'Antonia (1394 m) appears in the right background. The valley in the foreground should actually be submerged in a reservoir impounded by the dam for the purpose of irrigation. However, after a series of dry years, the reservoir is empty even during the rainy season.
