Torre (Serra da Estrela Summit)

Highlight • Summit

This is the HP of mainland Portugal. The short way up is to drive up to the top, park up and walk 50m to the summit and then go and buy some good cheese and meats from the summit shops!

View of Cântaro Gordo

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great landscape. The signage is sometimes very bad. Often just stone men.
