Description

Serra da Estrela is the highest mountain range in Continental Portugal.
Together with the Serra da Lousa it is the westernmost constituent range of the
Sistema Central and also one of the highest in the system.
It includes mainland Portugal's highest point at 1,993 m (6,539 ft)
above mean sea level at its highest point.

The mountain range, situated between the municipalities of Seia, Manteigas,
Gouveia, Guarda and Covilhã, is about 100 km (62.14 mi) long and is 30 km (18.64 mi)
at its widest point.

It is formed from a huge granite ridge that once formed the southern frontier of the country.
Due to its bizarrely shaped crags and gorges, mountain streams and lakes, beautiful forests
and magnificent views, the area ranks among Portugal’s outstanding scenic attractions.
