"Aculminar a visita à Quinta da Relageira, há que invocar a aventura dos Cavaleiros Templários, ou os ideais dos mestres da Maçonaria, para descer ao monumental poço iniciático por uma imensa escadaria em espiral. E, lá no fundo, com os pés assentes numa estrela de oito pontas, é como se estivéssemos imersos no ventre da Terra-Mãe. Depois, só nos resta atravessar as trevas das grutas labirínticas, até ganharmos a luz, reflectida am lagos surpreendentes."

"There is also a vast ensemble of turrets providing us with breathtaking views, strange recesses - half myth half saudade (missing), palace type residences of superb taste. Reference must be made to the adventures of the Knights of the Temple or the ideals of the master Masons, to descend into the initiation well via an immense spiral shaped staircase. And down below, standing on a light pointed star it is as if we were immersed in the womb of Mother Earth. All we must do is traverse the darkness of the labyrinth grottos until we reach the light, reflected in the water of lakes of surprising beauty."
