Welcome to the Magical Mountains!
A territory that welcomes you with an open spirit and offers you “the best of two worlds” in the heart of Portugal: the essence of the North and the identity of the Center, the restless of the Coastline and the serenity of the Inland, the majesty of nature and the nobility of culture, the authenticity of tradition and the innovation of the modern, the magic of the unknown and the comfort of the hospitality.
A distinct and passionate territory that extends from the mythical river Douro to the emblematic river Vouga, in a space that elapses between the coastline to the inland. Overcome by tall and superb mountains, uncountable rivers and streams, fertile and profound valleys, rare and spectacular geological phenomena, diverse and singular species of fauna and flora, wonderful woods, outstanding monuments and beautiful villages, the destination “Magical Mountains” had been able to preserve its precious natural and cultural resources, guided by the offering of a responsible and sustainable touristic model.
Let yourself be involved by the magic of the Montemuro, Arada and Gralheira mountains and find there all that you need to live unforgettable experiences and sensations.
