Serra da Estrela

Beautiful panoramic views from the highest point in Portugal. You can ski here in winter, and there is sometimes snow even in summer.

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!

Café Artesanato-Queijo

Highlight • Cafe

On a long route, probably the only rest stop. Of course there is also a restaurant on Torre itself. Was not in there myself.
