Hiking
The Serra de Aire stands as the highest point of the Estremenho Limestone Massif, crowning its 678 metres at the geodesic vertex.
Up here, the horizon opens up generously: to the south stretches the Tertiary Tagus Basin, lowered by the Arrife thrust and marked by ochre tones of sand and clay; to the west and southwest rise the Santo António plateau and the Serra dos Candeeiros. And if the sky cooperates, the view also reaches Montejunto, the sea in the distance and, to the north, the highlands of São Mamede up to Ourém and Fátima.
