Leaving our hotel at 10:30 with perfect weather, we set out for the day's trip. Our chosen destination for the day was Serra Da Estrela, Beira Alta, which is a Nature Reserve in the mountains.
We made good progress and traveled along some rather scenic country roads. As we came closer to our destination, the road took us into the mountains. The last 30 kms were rather spectacular with snow covered mountain tops close by. Having ascended to more than 1800 meters we eventually descended again into a long valley at the end of which we found Manteigas, our selected destination for the day. We found good accommodation at the Hotel Berne where we again enjoyed a fantastic traditional portuguese dinner. The distance covered for the day was 189 kms.
