Rio Zêzere
After the Mondego, this is the second-longest Portuguese river. It rises in the Serra da Estrela, at an altitude of approximately 1,900 meters, and stretches for 242 km. Its main tributaries are the Nabão and Alge rivers, as well as the Isna, Paul, Bogas, Pera, and Unhais streams. It flows into Constância. Thanks to its water potential, flow, steepness, and rocky banks, it has been used for electricity generation.
