In Piellas, the water helps to connect garden, forest and fields. The description published by Jardins Magazine places a tank in L next to the wall, close to a passage to the forest of Casa do Boal. Another tank, surrounded by bamboos and buxos, opens for a cultivation field surrounded by forest. The water goes to the stream of Painzela.
The article also describes paths shaded by ramadas and an agricultural courtyard associated with the old production of corn and wine. The farm therefore gathers recreational spaces and work spaces: the garden of carved shrubs is part of a wider landscape.
Try to imagine the fifth in layers: the levels, paths, vegetation and the water system. The description allows to relate these elements, but does not provide a complete map of the hydraulic circuit. Piellas is a private property; the visiting conditions should be consulted on the site's chart.
