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.

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.

Gouveia is a picturesque Portuguese town and municipality located in the district of Guarda, on the northern edge of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park. With an elevated position that provides it with a mountain climate and picturesque views, Gouveia is considered one of the "gateways" to the highest mountain range in mainland Portugal. The town stands out for its rich historical and architectural heritage, with a charming old town characterized by narrow cobbled streets, traditional houses and monuments such as the Mother Church of São Pedro and the Paços do Concelho (Town Hall). Gouveia is also renowned for the production of the famous Queijo Serra da Estrela, a DOP sheep's cheese, and for its tradition of the Cão da Serra da Estrela dog breed. Its proximity to the Natural Park makes it an excellent base for exploring the natural beauty of the Serra.

The village is famous for its granite houses, cobbled streets and its imposing medieval castle, which offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Legend has it that Folgosinho was founded by Lusone, grandson of Noah, which adds a touch of mysticism to its already fascinating history.
