    Beleza da Serra

    Posted by sdc3101 16 April 2011

    A small hotel on the waterfront in the Geres National Park. The hotel serves the best Portuguese food. The owners are fluent in English. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Within walking distance is the lagoon with a wide variety of watersports or just sit on your balcony and take in the fresh pine air!

    Posted by jvmills 27 October 2008

    Fantastic Portuguese National Park (the largest in Portugal). Camping and climbing are great.

    Leave your car by the border with Spain (it's forbidden to park it anywhere else because the area is protected) and walk down the road till you find the river. Are you wearing a swim-suit and waterproof shoes? Then go down the river and enjoy its crystal green lagoons and small waterfalls. When you reach the wooden bridge, come back by the ancient roman road (one mile walk). Otherwise, go to Campo do Geres and walk the entire roman road up.
