The name of this island is due to a legend, according to which a young farmer and a young wealthy noble girl fell in love. Despite their love for each other, that situation was unacceptable at that time for the girl’s family. After a few months, the hand of the girl was given to an aristocrat, and this would be a marriage of convenience and not of love, a usual situation at that time.

One day, completely possessed by jealousy, the farmer killed the aristocrat and threw his body into the Douro River. Afraid to be caught, he hid on a small island in the middle of the river and stayed there for a long time, suffering for the longings he felt for his beloved.

When he realized he had not been discovered, he left the island to look for his darling and convince her to return with him. When he found her, she immediately agreed to run away with him. However, when they were crossing the river, a huge storm arose that caused the boat to sink, this preventing the couple from reaching their destination. The legend said the storm was caused by the spirit of the young aristocrat, who was seeking revenge for his death.

True or not, let yourself involved by this passionate love story and surprise your soulmate on a trip to this unknown island, where you can contemplate the breathtaking views as well enjoy a romantic picnic. Enjoying a peaceful atmosphere, with the chirping of birds and the quiet noise of the waters.
