Cântaro Magro is one of the "commonplaces" of the Serra da Estrela mountain range, whose summit rises to 1928 m altitude, deserving a visit at any time of year. Viewed from west to east, its silhouette resembles a pitcher. In summer, its rocky face is interrupted by small terraces of soil, where some of the rarest botanical jewels of the mountain range grow. In winter, it is covered in snow and ice which, as they melt, form ephemeral waterfalls. These recall the overflowing liquid from the pitchers carried on the heads of women when, in the past, they went to the fountains. #CISE #VisitSeia #ParqueNaturaldaSerradaEstrela

Offering breathtaking views of the southeastern slopes of the Serra da Estrela, Cova da Beira, and the charming city of Covilhã, the Varanda dos Carqueijais, which rises 1,130 meters above sea level, is a stunning suspended viewpoint, magnificently perched in the heart of the surrounding natural landscape. The suspended walkway was the best way to provide an excellent experience for visitors, creating a kind of amphitheater, a balcony overlooking the inspiring natural landscape. This viewpoint is an integral part of the viewpoint route, developed by the Municipality of Covilhã, with the aim of promoting the region's natural heritage.

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.

Both Piódão and Foz d'Égua are accessible by car. But it's worth hiking the trail that connects them. It takes about 45 minutes, downhill from Piódão to Foz d'Égua (remember that the return is a slight climb). It's worth crossing the restored suspension bridge in Foz d'Égua before returning to Piódão. The Foz d'Égua pool is a popular spot for a dip in its very cold waters. Dipping your feet in the icy water of the stream is always very pleasant after a hike, immersing yourself in nature. I did it and recommend it. 👍🥾

The Serra da Estrela Natural Park is something truly special. This 1,000-square-kilometer park, spread across six municipalities, was the first and currently the largest protected natural park in Portugal. It is home to the highest point on the Portuguese mainland, the country's only ski slope, the source of two important rivers, and a fascinating, alpine-like landscape formed by glaciers.

At exactly 1993 meters above sea level, Torre is the highest point in mainland Portugal, where the only ski resort is located. The landscape on the upper plateau of the Serra da Estrela is like a sprinkling of granite rocks over low scrub and patches of snow and ice, which the sun threatens to melt soon in the summer and which always returns the following winter. In winter, it sometimes becomes inaccessible.
