    Hiking

    The Miradouro de São Gens, in Castelo Branco, Portugal, is a panoramic viewpoint that stands out for both its location and its history:
    It is located on Rua da Piscina, near Castelo Branco Castle, just 100–120 meters from the Church of Santa Maria do Castelo.
    Inaugurated in 1941, its structure was originally designed to conceal water tanks, and was later restored as part of the Polis program.
    Surrounded by flower gardens, benches, and shaded areas, it encourages rest and contemplation.

    Hiking

    From the viewpoint you can see:

    The historic center of Castelo Branco,
    The São Águeda Reservoir (Marateca),
    The southern foothills of the Serra da Gardunha,
    The Serra da Estrela and Monte de São Martinho,


    On clear days, even the border with Spain (“a Raia”).
