A historic village of undeniable beauty. Thank you for sharing the photos.👍🥾🚲

Linhares da Beira is steeped in centuries of history. Founded, apparently, in the 6th century BC by the Turduli, it saw the passage of the Lusitanians, Romans, and Visigoths, who made it the seat of their diocese. It was the scene of Moorish legends, recovered by the kings of León and later by Afonso Henriques, who granted it a charter in 1169 and integrated it into the region's defensive line. Over time, it welcomed Jews, resisted invasions, and lost its municipality in 1842, but never its soul. Today, it is proud to be one of the 12 Historic Villages of Portugal, where every stone tells a piece of the past.

Between time-worn granite blocks, the Estrada dos Almocreves winds its way to Linhares da Beira. This section, a legacy of the Via da Estrela (the ancient Roman route that connected Mérida to Braga), connected Mangualde to Linhares and continued to Videmonte. It's over a kilometer of almost uninterrupted pavement, gently descending until it reaches the waters of the Ribeira de Linhares.

Characterized by a serene and rural atmosphere, Freixo da Serra offers a taste of traditional Portuguese mountain life. Its stone houses, narrow streets and surrounding environment of cultivated fields and forests make it an ideal place for those seeking peace and contact with nature. Its strategic location allows easy access to some of the trails and points of interest of Serra da Estrela, while maintaining the tranquility of a less touristy settlement.

Lovely village for some hiking.
