Where is: between the Serra da Estrela, Gardunha and Goshawk, a remote and inaccessible area. The trip is made by winding roads and takes about one hour from the nearest highway.
The access from the coast is done by IC8 from Pombal, taking the N2 Grande Pedrogão and then the N344 until Pampilhosa. Alternatively, you can break up of Castelo Branco, followed by the N112 for 60 km, turning right after the N344 until the dam. A third access is made by Fundão through the N238 until Dew (40 km), followed after 15 km by 6 km and finally N112 by N344.

The vine was seen on several occasions, both in the wall and in adjacent rocks. Given his habit of sneaking through the cracks, this species can be quite difficult to detect and observe, and therefore required much patience.
Apart from the vine, the site is relatively poor in birds. On the wall is easy to see the swallows-the-rocks and boulders we see the rabirruivo black and sometimes, the peregrine falcon.
