Covão d'Ametade

Highlight • Forest

It is possible to rely only on a mat and a sleeping bag to sleep here and continue traveling the next morning. This building has a sheltered porch. It serves well, if the weather makes it easier.

Torre (Serra da Estrela Summit)

Highlight • Summit

This is the HP of mainland Portugal. The short way up is to drive up to the top, park up and walk 50m to the summit and then go and buy some good cheese and meats from the summit shops!
