Centro

The centre of Portugal is proof that virtue (or, in this case, the virtues) is in the middle. From the highest mountain in mainland Portugal to the world’s biggest waves, there is a little bit of everything, without forgetting priceless monumental and human heritage. Schist villages, castles that look like they have emerged from fairy tales, one of the oldest universities in Europe, and even a Portuguese-style Venice.
