Bend after bend, the road winds its way through the pine forests, streams and villages, where time passes slowly. As we get closer to the peak, the air gets fresher, the temperature drops and the horizon widens to present a breathtaking scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Climb to Torre (the highest point of mainland Portugal), explore the glacial lagoons and take the trails that lead to small schist villages, some long-since abandoned. In the winter, the landscape awakens, painted white with snow and ideal for skiing and frolicking with the family. In the summer, the mountain reveals a different feel, with trails and streams perfect for walking and swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, the Pousada Serra da Estrela hosts the travellers in the best way possible. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pousadas.pt\/en\/hotel\/pousada-serra-estrela\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hotel in Serra da Estrela Natural Park<\/a><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">combines the authenticity of the place\u2019s origins with modern-day comfort: cosy interiors, large windows with views over the valleys and other spots that are perfect after a day of discovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6236\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6236\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6236 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.pestana.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PestanaPousadaSerraDaEstrela-Exterior-3_Original.jpg\" alt=\"pestana_pousada_serra_da_estrela_exterior\" width=\"1200\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.pestana.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PestanaPousadaSerraDaEstrela-Exterior-3_Original.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/stories.pestana.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PestanaPousadaSerraDaEstrela-Exterior-3_Original-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.pestana.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PestanaPousadaSerraDaEstrela-Exterior-3_Original-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stories.pestana.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PestanaPousadaSerraDaEstrela-Exterior-3_Original-768x518.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the top of the mountain, between the snow and the sky, the Pousada Serra da Estrela invites you to relax and enjoy adventure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole family is welcome. Inside, there\u2019s a games room popular with the youngsters, while, outside, bikes allow guests to become more familiar with the mountainside and its secrets. Four-legged friends (dogs) are also welcome. Take advantage of the spa with a sauna and Turkish bath, take a dip in the indoor pool or simply enjoy the sunset by the fireside, in an atmosphere that seems to be of a bygone era.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At night, the restaurant serves regional dishes, such as pork shank with coriander sauce, bean stew with local sausages, mountain goat and Urze rice, picked in Serra da Estrela, at an altitude of over 1600 metres. The wine list is an ode to the Beira Interior winegrowing area, which is worth perusing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Day 2: from the mountain to the city of Viriato<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breakfast \u2013 which includes panoramic views, as well as delicious crispy bread and mountain honey \u2013, it\u2019s time to head down towards Viseu. The trip takes around an hour and is a discovery in itself: picturesque villages, deep valleys and vineyards mean we\u2019ve arrived in the D\u00e3o region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Viseu, the city\u2019s elegance combines with its long history. In the centre of the town is the Pousada Viseu, which is housed in the old S\u00e3o Teot\u00f3nio Hospital, a carefully restored 19<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-century building.

Come dinner time, try the Viriato, an elegant restaurant that serves the finest regional fare with a contemporary twist. Top meat dishes include roasted Beira goat and Laf\u00f5es veal, while recommended fish options are cod and octopus, both specialities of the house. Don\u2019t forget to leave room for dessert, like the <em>pastel de Vouzela<\/em> and the baked cheesecake, with Serra da Estrela cheese, toasted pine nut and grape ice-cream.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Day 3: Viseu: art, tradition and a final toast<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last day is dedicated to seeing Viseu at your leisure. The city is a veritable outdoor museum, with verdant parks and ancient trees, set among a wealth of historical and architectural heritage, including the Pousada Viseu itself. Start by walking from here to the S\u00e9 (cathedral), one of the most impressive landmarks of the historic centre. Continue until you reach the Gr\u00e3o Vasco museum, which houses masterpieces of the Portuguese Renaissance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stroll through the main square Rossio, explore the walls and discover the various handicraft shops and traditional cafes. If there\u2019s time, walk to the Fontelo park, one of the loveliest gardens in the region, which boasts trails between the trees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to the Pousada, enjoy one final coffee, surrounded by nature, or have a quick swim before leaving &#8211; it would be the best way to end the perfect break.\u00a0
