Please check local regulations for: Parque Natural da Serra da Estrela
Sabugueiro, the village vying for the title of highest in Portugal, is also one of the most authentic ambassadors of mountain life. Among granite houses and comforting flavors (cheese, sausages, roast kid, and honey), you can find the warmth of blankets and burel coats and the company of the faithful Serra da Estrela mountain dogs. Surrounding waterfalls, streams, and lakes remind you that here, nature is as generous as the table.

The route is monotonous on the way up, but very interesting on the way down, after leaving the road.Be careful: GPS is necessary, with some signage, but not sufficient.
