Serra da Estrela
On summer or winter, the highest mountain in mainland Portugal is the perfect setting for a relaxing day in contact with nature.
With a maximum altitude of 1993 meters in the Tower, Serra da Estrela is an area of rare scenic beauty with impressive mountainous slopes where we can live intensely in the silence of the hights. Take advantage of these moments of communion with nature to observe it, noting the variety of vegetation, birds, or flocks of sheep guided by dogs.
But we can also follow the course of the great Portuguese rivers from their sources - Mondego in Mondeguinho, Zêzere in Covão de Ametade, and Alva in Vale do Rossim are stunning places. Or enjoy the glacial valleys of Loriga, Manteigas, or Covão do Urso and Covão Grande. But in the warmer or colder months, the best suggestion will certainly be the visit to mountain villages like Sabugueiro, Alvoco da Serra or Loriga, and many other must-see places.
