We Found A Hidden Mountain Water Source In Rural Portugal Howards Portugal 2026-02-24 | buymeacoffee.com/howardsportugalyoutube.com/channel/UC3QktroBFFqgH1bHay63kFQThere’s water running somewhere above us in the mountains.The only problem? We don’t know exactly where it is.Finding this hidden mountain water source could transform how resilient our land becomes.In this episode of our rural Portugal homesteading journey, we rediscover an ancient mountain water tank and water mine hidden above our land. We know it's up there, but finding it is a big challenge as all the paths are over-grown and the landscape is very steep! We need the water, however - and it’s all just part of building a more resilient landscape.This is real life in rural Portugal. Water security is essential for off-grid living in Portugal, especially in wildfire-prone mountain regions like the Serra da Estrela & without water, life is pretty impossible so we want to maximise our resources.Have you ever discovered a hidden water source or spring on your land? Let us know in the comments — especially if you have experience with land management or wildfire prevention.Thanks so much for your support, your comments, and for subscribing.

Twitter @HowardsPortugal The Hotel Águas de Radium is located near Sortelha, in the municipality of Sabugal, Portugal. It was built in the early 20th century, driven by the belief in the therapeutic benefits of the region’s radioactive waters. Legend says it was founded by a Spanish count, Dom Rodrigo, who brought his ill daughter for treatment in the local waters and, after her recovery, had the hotel built in gratitude Opened in 1926, the hotel had around 90 rooms and could accommodate 150 guests. It offered treatments such as thermal baths, mud applications, and radioactive electric compresses. In 1929, the operation was leased to Sociedade Águas Radium, Lda., until 1940. After World War II, the popularity of radioactive waters declined due to the associated health risks, leading to the suspension of activities in 1945 In 1951, the Companhia Portuguesa de Radium, backed by English capital, attempted to revitalise the hotel but was unsuccessful. The complex was auctioned in the 1960s and bought by Ramiro Lopes, who planned to transform it into a luxury hotel. In 2000, the project was revived by his brother, António Lopes, with ambitious plans including a golf course and swimming pools, but these didn’t materialise due to high costs and the risks involved Today, the hotel’s ruins remain as a testament to the region’s spa history, attracting visitors interested in its unique architecture and past.Music in this video:Music by Whitesand - Memories [from "The Altruistic Soldier"]Original: • 'Memories' - Emotional Soundtrack Mus... whitesand.bandcamp.com/album/the-altruistic-soldier-soundtrackMusic promoted by Just No Copyright Music ツ • ＭＥＭＯＲＩＥＳ [from "The Altruistic Soldie..."Autumn Sky" by Cold Cinemabit.ly/3zHSFQq#epicnocopyrightmusic #cinematicnocopyrightmusic Track: MokkaMusic - Breezy Summer • Acoustic Guitar Inspiring Beat (No Co...
