Winter Season at Quinta da Moenda
Each season here has its own charming face. In Springtime the orange
trees flower and during the wintertime you can pick plump oranges and
lemons. Enjoy the overwhelming beauty of flowering mimosa woods, camelia
trees and whole mountain sides full of yellow gorse, wild heather and
cistus.
Summer season is mostly hot and dry, but this brings the ripening of
wine and fig trees. In Autumn you can enjoy the warm past-summer time,
the wine harvest and sometimes a cooling strong rainshower, after which
nature looks and smells its nicest.
