Castelo Branco
This region has the mountain range of Serra da Estrela. Guarda, at an altitude of 1,000m has a cathedral built out of massive blocks of granite with lofty pinnacles and grimacing gargoyles. In the area of Castelo Branco you can find exotically embroidered bedspreads. In Monsanto, the castle is so integrated into the rock that it looks as if it grew there, New roads have made the mountains even more accessible now.
