Serra do Alvão
Integrated into the Alvão Natural Park, it is located west of Vila Pouca de Aguiar, in the northern extension of the Marão mountain range. It reaches a maximum altitude of 1,330 meters at the Cravelas geodetic vertex. Previously known as the Eiró mountain range, the Alvão mountain range is now also known by other names, such as the Ordem mountain range or the Sabugueiro mountain range, depending on the town. Characterized by its granite massif and pronounced plateau appearance, it has been occupied by humans since ancient times, notably the abundance of dolmens. It offers spectacular landscapes and beautiful pine forests. Notable are the typical villages, notably Lamas de Olo, and the Fisgas do Ermelo waterfalls, which are landmarks of the park.
