The undiscovered Portugal
|
| | |
A land full of legends for you to reveal!
|
| | |
This region is made up of two contrasting areas. The extensive
beaches and fishing villages which lie along the coast and the
interior where mountains and plateaus dominate the landscape.
‘Beiras’ is the traditional name of a region running south of
Douro river and north of Tagus river. The region is one of deep
contrasts: the Atlantic coastline, where a temperate climate,
white sandy beaches and the Atlantic pine forests are typical,
and the interior where more forbidding mountains and rocks set
the tone.
In the heart of this hinterland rises the Serra da Estrela (Estrela
Mountain Range), the highest in continental Portugal. This is
where the Mondego river rises, later running down to the city of
Coimbra. Here, the river that over the centuries has had so many
odes composed to it by generations of university students, flows
out into the Atlantic ocean by the lengthy Figueira da Foz
beach.
Amongst the spacious horizons of this inland region are historic
towns and villages, many of them are guarded by castles built by
the early kings of Portugal for the kingdom’s defense.
Come and enjoy the center of Portugal.
