Glacier valley whose head meets the Zêzere Valley, and presents glacial circuses and small lagoons, which fill the covões along this valley. At the confluence with the Zêzere Valley, the Candieira stream turns into a waterfall, showing the character of a suspended valley.

Vale da Candieira is the main tributary of the Zêzere valley on the western plateau, which, due to its less ice. it also had less erosive capacity. For this reason, the Zêzere valley deepened its bed even more, while Candieira lost that race, remaining suspended over the first.
